Scholarships

 

Helping those in Financial Need

Every child deserves a theatrical education.  Yet participation in youth musical theatre usually comes with a price tag.  SYS offers scholarships to ensure that young people, with an interest in musical theatre, have an opportunity to participate.

Applicants submit an essay on the importance of the performing arts, a financial profile and participate in an interview with several board members.  Our primary interest is to help youth who might otherwise be unable to benefit from the performing arts with an experience they’ll never forget.

Sing Your Song recently had the opportunity to partner with the Old Globe in San Diego to award financial scholarships to 5 recipients to attend the Old Globe's Shakespeare Studio Summer intensive program.

In addition to local youth scholarships, Sing Your Song partnered with Baldwin Wallace University to award financial scholarships ($2,000) to college students who are pursuing acting and musical theatre careers. Here’s what some of the recipients and their parents had to say about their experience:

“Thank you so much for choosing Victoria to receive your scholarship.
Such an honour and a privilege and we are just so thankful to your organization. Humbled actually. ”

“It was such a pleasure to meet you and your family last week. You are all wonderful people.
Thank you so much. This is a great honor and I am looking forward to kick starting my education this coming fall with a fresh perspective, and an open heart. “
