The Ignite Scholarship Program is intended to extend arts opportunities to performers in and around the St. Louis area. These scholarships are need based scholarships, awarded to performers who we believe will fulfill our mission of creating great people first and great performers second. We are excited to announce that this year, the Siteman Family Organization has given us a grant dedicated to providing scholarships to help performers with tuition. Unfortunately, space and funding is extremely limited, and it is not possible to award scholarships to each performer applying.
Scholarships/financial aid are evaluated and awarded blindly by Ignite's Board of Directors. Previous experience with Ignite Theatre Company will not influence the scholarship process. There are a limited number of full, half, and partial performance scholarships and financial aid available.
Please make sure to fill out this application as thoroughly and accurately as possible. The board members will have only this document on which to base their decision.
If your performer is awarded a full, half, or partial scholarship, your scholarship will be applied towards your tuition. Any additional and optional expenses, including but not limited to: costuming, tickets, travel etc., will be the responsibility of the family.
