EMRE YILMAZ SCHOLARSHIP
History
Emre Yılmaz died tragically in January 2002 at a very young age. He is undoubtedly best known by the Canadian-Turkish community for his contribution to Turkish folklore, especially by those living in the Greater Metropolitan Toronto Area. He presented his outstanding Turkish folklore skills at many festivities and events in Canada and United States of America with the Anatolian Folk Dancers.
In order to commemorate his memory and his achievements the Anatolian Folk Dancers (AFD) and the Canadian Turkish Islamic Trust, Inc. (CTIT) have jointly established the EMRE YILMAZ SCHOLARSHIP (the “Scholarship”) in 2002.
Administration Committee
The president of the AFD and three members of the CTIT executive committee (chairman, vice-chairman and treasurer) will administer the Scholarship. At present, the Administration Committee is comprised of:
Bora InceogluAFD President
Ismail AycanCTIT Chairman
Ibrahim Erel, P.Eng.CTIT Vice-Chairman
Yusuf SertpolatCTIT Treasurer
The Administration Committee has agreed to volunteer their time in order to administer the Scholarship.
Sources of Income
Scholarship funds are to be raised through fund-raising events and individual contributions. All funds raised will be awarded to Scholarship winner(s), if any, in the first quarter of the following year without deducting any administration fee.
If we all could give a donation in Emre’s name to help fund the Scholarship, we all, in our own way, could help honour his living memory and provide a fitting tribute to a special individual who cared so much about Turkish folklore and keeping alive and showcasing Turkish traditions in North America.
