Thanks to the generosity of donors, the Northeast Tionól offers three types of scholarship (two for pipers, one for fiddlers) that will cover a student’s tuition for the weekend and pay $200 toward the student’s room and board.
The 2021 Northeast Tionól is cancelled. The scholarship application period for 2022 will open in July 2022.
