Financial Aid

Financial assistance: SCT Drama School offers financial assistance on three levels:

  1. Scholarships: Need-based scholarships are available to families who would not otherwise be able to participate in our classes. An application is required; our criteria are based on the guidelines established by the HUD Income Guidelines for King County.
  2. Work Study: A limited number of work-study positions are available each semester, providing parents and teenage students the opportunity to work for the theatre – often on administrative projects or as ushers or classroom assistants – in exchange for partial tuition. An application is required; families with greater financial need will generally be given priority for work-study.
  3. Payment Plans: Payment plans are available to anyone who prefers to split up their balance into two or three installments. No application is required; simply call the Drama School at (206) 443-0807 ext. 1186 to make arrangements.

For full consideration, financial aid applications must be received no later than the dates listed below. Application will be processed on a first come, first served basis. Applications received after these dates will be considered only if there are scholarship funds available. For a financial aid application form, call the Drama School office at (206) 443-0807 ext.1186, or Download Summer 2010/School Year 2010-11 Financial Aid Form.

Be a Teacher's Assistant

If you're between 14 and 18, and you've participated in intermediate or advanced programs at the Drama School, you are invited to interview for a teacher's assistant position in our summer program. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in theatre, teaching, and working with younger children. For more information call Andrea Randall at (206) 443-0807 ext. 1123. Work-study credit for classes in which you will be enrolled may be arranged.
