The Alice & Randy Daniels Music Fund was established in 2017 by the Daniels family in honour of their mother Alice Daniels of Fort Smith and their brother Randy Daniels also of Fort Smith.
Each year, the Alice & Randy Daniels Music Fund awards $2000 to one recipient.

- A resident of the Northwest Territories for at least the last 5 consecutive years
- Pursuing post-secondary studies in music
Applicants are eligible to re-apply for grants in successive years; however previous receipt does not guarantee future awards and recipients shall not receive the award more than two times.
All of our scholarship application forms and additional materials need to be submitted on our scholarship application portal.
