Queen's Platinum Jubilee Scholarship for Performing Arts

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Scholarship for Performing Arts is an annual scholarship established by the Government of Alberta to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne and her service to the Commonwealth. The scholarship awards $7,000 annually to a young Alberta performing artist who demonstrates extraordinary talent and potential, along with clear educational or training goals. The scholarship rotates annually among three performing arts disciplines: music, theatre, and dance, with the 2027 deadline designated for music applicants. Recipients must be enrolled in eligible performing arts training programs, which can include undergraduate studies with a performing arts focus, technical or conservatory performing arts schools, or recognized workshops, master classes, or mentorship programs. The scholarship aims to support the artistic development of young Alberta artists pursuing excellence in the performing arts.
