Craig Forster Memorial Scholarship

During the years since its inception, Ti Ti Tábor has become an annual event providing outstanding training opportunities in Hungarian folk music and folk dance. In addition to the excellence of its learning possibilities, Ti Ti Tábor brings its participants together as a community, in every sense of the word: a group of enthusiasts, a family of “folkies,” and — perhaps especially — a gathering of friends whose common bonds are further strengthened with each camp.

Craig Forster epitomized the Ti Ti Tábor camp experience. His warmth, generosity, cheer, and volunteerism helped to make each week memorable; moreover, he expressed genuine pleasure in continuing the legacy of great Hungarian musicianship. In memory of Craig, the Ti Ti Tábor Board of Directors has established a scholarship to offer assistance in attending camp to one or more deserving applicants.

The Craig Forster Scholarship provides a waiver of fees for the week-long August camp, including tuition and room and board. Anyone aged 18 years or older who is interested in sharing the Ti Ti Tábor experience with our community of enthusiastic and welcoming Hungarophiles is encouraged to apply.

One or more scholarships will be awarded to successful applicants to attend Ti Ti Tábor on Raft Island in August 2012.

The scholarship application form is available in the following two formats:

• PDF versions in English and Hungarian which can be printed and filled in and mailed (or scanned and emailed),
• Microsoft Word versions in English and Hungarian which can be filled out and emailed.

Please note the application deadline of May 1, 2012.

For other information, please contact the scholarship commmittee.
