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.
In order to be eligible to apply for the Alice & Randy Daniels Music Fund, you must be:
- 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.
- You will complete a questionnaire describing your interest and involvement in music, how the scholarship will enable you to develop your music skills, your contributions to your community, and how the scholarship will benefit you, your community and/or the North.
- You will provide the email address of a reference to support your application. Your reference can be a teacher or a mentor from the arts community. We will email your reference a recommendation form to fill out.
You must be an eligible resident to apply for a scholarship.

However, you do not need to print out any forms!
Each residency declaration is a one-click question embedded within the application process.
You just need to provide the email address of your residency witness, and they will be emailed directly.
You can only apply through our online application portal. In 2024, the application portal opens on April 2nd.
