CDS Boston Centre is fortunate to have several scholarship funds available for those needing help to attend Pinewoods summer camp sessions.
Three different scholarship programs are available from CDS-BC in collaboration with Pinewoods Camp Inc:
NGI Scholarship Program
BIPOC Scholarships
PCI Needs Based Scholarships
See the Pinewoods Camp website Scholarship page for more information on these three programs.
CDS-BC also has two scholarship funds of its own from which scholarships can be awarded:
Bolles Memorial Fund
The Bolles Memorial Fund was started in 1935 and endowed in 1942. “The sum of money given in memory of Dorothy R. Bolles in her memory shall be known as the Bolles Memorial Fund. The income of the Fund is to be used for the payment, in whole or in part, of the expenses of one or more persons at a Summer School of Folk Dancing conducted by the Country Dance Society, Inc.”
Partial or full scholarships can be awarded on the basis of need or merit for attendance at CDS-BC sponsored Pinewoods Camp sessions.
Nancy Cruise Pinewoods Scholarship Fund
The Pinewoods Scholarship Fund was established in 1955 with member donations in order to help others afford attendance at Pinewoods Camp sessions. The fund was renamed in honor of Nancy Cruise in 1992 after she left a generous donation to the fund in her will.
Scholarship donations fund partial or full scholarships awarded on the basis of need. Scholarships can be used for CDS-BC sponsored camp sessions or for other related sessions such as English Week.
