Tuition Assistance & Scholarships

San Diego Junior Theatre Tuition Assistance

TUITION ASSISTANCE

San Diego Junior Theatre is pleased to offer tuition assistance (up to 50% of the class/camp/production fee) to families who would not otherwise be able to participate in our programming. Funding is limited and requires an application process. Determinations are made by San Diego Junior Theatre’s Education Committee. Based on your submitted application material, the committee will determine a funding amount for each student. Applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis.

You will be notified of your application status no later than two weeks prior to the first class. If a class you requested is not available, we will make every effort to accommodate your second or third choice.

Applications for tuition assistance for the 2026-2027 season will be available in July when registration for Fall Classes & Camp opens.

YOU WILL BE FOUND SCHOLARSHIP

The You Will Be Found Scholarship supports Junior Theatre’s commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive community. Each year, up to four students, between the ages of 5-17, will receive a one-year-long scholarship that covers one Junior Theatre class or camp per session (total of four) and all production fees.

The ideal scholarship candidate will be new, or have limited access to Junior Theatre and possess the following qualities:

• Inspired by some aspect of theatre

• Looking for a place to belong

• Has something unique (not necessarily theatre-related) to bring to the Junior Theatre community

The submission period for the 2026-2027 season is now closed. Scholarships will be awarded on the opening night of Junior Theatre’s spring production of Shrek The Musical, on April 24, 2026.

The submission period for the 2027-2028 season will open in September 2026.

If you have any questions about the scholarship or the submission process, please contact Education Director, Elissa Russell at 619-239-1311 x 233 or [email protected].
