Financial Aid at Stageworks
Financial Aid is funded by contributions to Stageworks Theatre from individuals and businesses who support the arts. Aid is awarded on the basis of need. Students who receive financial aid are expected to attend regularly and participate in all activities.
Full or partial scholarships are provided to students who can demonstrate financial need and have displayed a dedication to the performing arts. Since funds are limited, we cannot guarantee that aid will be available for all requests.
