Scholarships and grants
The deadline to apply for a £250 scholarship is 30 April 2022 and full details and the application form are here. The scholarship is open to members and non-members so please tell anyone who you think might be interested. All applications will be reviewed by our scholarship approvals panel which comprises Gary, Jo and Mariusz. Awards will be made as soon as we can after the application deadline.
Organisers of social and competitive equality dance events can apply for a grant of up to £250. Full details are available on the website.
Membership fees are now due
With the new membership year starting from 1 April, membership fees are now due for renewal which you can do through our website. We are always looking to increase membership, so, please tell your friends about us. We would welcome members from outside London. After all the UK is a big country. To help with this some of our sub-committee members come from Oxford, Manchester and Birmingham.
With very best wishes
ANSELL
Chair, UKEDC
