Mission

TRAVELING PLAYERS ENSEMBLE IS EAGER TO FIND SCHOLARSHIP CAMPERS THAT ARE A GOOD FIT WITH OUR COMMUNITY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED ON THREE FACTORS FINANCIAL NEED OF FAMILY, TALENT AND/OR DEDICATION OF PERFORMER, AND NEEDS OF TPES ENSEMBLES. THE PROCEDURE TO BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR A SCHOLARSHIP THE STUDENT WRITES A LETTER EXPLAINING WHY THEY WANT TO BE A MEMBER OF THE TRAVELING PLAYERS PROGRAMS AND WHAT SPECIAL QUALITIES THEY WOULD BRING TO THE ENSEMBLE. THE STUDENT ASKS A TEACHER OR COACH WHO KNOWS THEM WELL TO FILL OUT THE SHORT RECOMMENDATION FORM. PARENTS PROVIDE A COPY OF THEIR MOST RECENT FEDERAL TAX RETURN TO VERIFY ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL AID. IF IT LOOKS LIKE THE STUDENT IS ELIGIBLE AND A GOOD FIT FOR OUR PROGRAMS THEN WE SCHEDULE AN INTERVIEW. AWARDS VARY FROM 10 TO 97 OF TUITION. A SINGLE APPLICATION ALLOWS A STUDENT TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A YEARS WORTH OF TRAVELING PLAYERS CAMPS, CLASSES, AND EVENTS. THERE IS NO ANNUAL LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT THAT WE CAN AWARD, AND NO LIFETIME CAP.WE HAVE HAD A HISTORY OF AWARDING A SINGLE STUDENT FOR 7 YEARS AND OVER 21,000 IN GRANTS. RETURNING SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO RE-APPLY EVERY YEAR.
