SCHOOL OF THEATRE ARTS SCHOLARSHIPS

Grand Rapids Civic Theatre School of Theatre Arts, through the support of generous community members and foundations, is pleased to offer need-based scholarships for classes and summer camps.

Qualified applicants may receive up to: 

  • 75% tuition scholarship for fall, winter or spring term classes
  • 50% tuition scholarship for summer camps.

Scholarships are limited to one class per student, per term and cannot be added retroactively. Due to the limited amount of scholarship funds available to us, there is a finite number of scholarships that we are able to accept within a given year. Be sure to get your application in early for the next year of classes!

Attendance Policy

Attendance is crucial in theatre class!  When a student is absent, it not only impacts the student’s learning, it also impacts their classmates who are relying on them in scenes and activities. If a student misses more than one class, we consider that an “incomplete” class. If a student with a scholarship misses more than one class, their scholarship status for the remaining school year will be rescinded and the administrative fee will not be refunded. Readmission into the scholarship program for the following school year will be made on a case-by-case basis.
