Please note that the deadline for submissions was Wednesday, May 1st, 2024. Applications after May 1st will be considered on a rolling basis if there are funds available.  

 Certain summer programs sell out on the day they go on sale. In order to secure your spot in a program, we do recommend that you pay the deposit for the program first. A scholarship application does not guarantee a spot in a program. 

  The form and supporting documentation must be complete in order to successfully submit the application. A separate application must be submitted for each student applying for a scholarship.
  You will be required to create a Submittable account which will allow you to save your form as a draft, upload documents and check the status of your application.   
If a scholarship is granted, regardless of the amount, the student will be expected to:
 

1. Write at least five (5) thank you notes by the last day of the program, addressed "Dear Donor" who make conservatory scholarships possible.  
2. Participate in curtain speeches at select performances during the theatre's Access to the Arts campaign (if and when applicable).
3. Participate in all end of year, end of semester or end of program performances. 
4. Volunteer up to five hours each semester or session (upon request) at select conservatory events such as open houses or performances.
5. Maintain regular attendance to and demonstrate satisfactory progress in (as determined by their instructor in consultation with the conservatory president) all classes and/or programs they are enrolled in. If other activities might preclude regular attendance, please discuss this with the conservatory president in advance. If a student drops out for reasons other than health or extenuating circumstances, families will be asked to pay back the amount awarded. This requirement allows us to assure that families and individuals accepting financial support are making their studies at the conservatory a priority.

Any special circumstances that will result in non-compliance with the above should be brought to the conservatory president’s attention as soon as they occur.
