    3. Canada West Excellence and RCM/CC classes are considered solo classes that count toward a scholarship eligibility requirement. Unless otherwise stated, these classes are not eligible for scholarships at the Regina Music Festival.
    4. Most scholarships have several classes that feed into them. The adjudicator determines the scholarship winner after considering all eligible participants and classes. Winning a class does not necessarily guarantee winning a scholarship. Please refer to the scholarship descriptions for more information on each scholarship and the eligible classes.
    5. Members of ensembles smaller than choirs, bands, or orchestras must enter and compete in at least two ensemble (or solo) competitions in the same discipline to be considered for scholarships in that discipline.
    6. Choirs, bands, and orchestras must have entered and competed in two competitions within their respective disciplines to be eligible for scholarships in that discipline.
    7. Competitors may not receive the same award more than two years in succession, but they will be eligible after a lapse of one year. Choirs, bands, orchestras, and ensembles are exempt from this regulation.
    8. The maximum number of local awards a competitor may win in one year in one discipline is three. This does not include the Regina Central Lions Scholarships, the MLT Aikins Scholarships or the Donald & Claire Kramer Foundation Award, or scholarships won as part of a duo or other small ensemble.
    9. Unless otherwise identified, the adjudicators will make all decisions regarding scholarships and awards. All decisions are final.
    10. Participants who are not eligible to receive RMF scholarships are still eligible to be recommended to Provincial and Canada West Competitions. For regulations and class descriptions, refer to the SMFA syllabus.
    11. The RMF reserves the right to adjust any scholarship description on which we may have erred.
    12. Designated Scholarships are available for RMC/CC classes in some disciplines. These classes are not eligible for consideration in all other scholarships.
    13. Scholarship winners will be notified after the end of the discipline. The RMF reserves the right to adjust any scholarship notifications in which there has been an error. The scholarship will ONLY be paid out to one winner after the board of the slate scholarships to be awarded has final reviewed and approved it. No special awards will be given if there is an error in the notification.
