Jenna's Dream will be considering elementary and middle school students between the ages of 6-13 for a scholarship to a local summer theatre arts camp.

Our Mission: "To promote the development and growth of creative energy in deserving children and young adults through performing arts, in the belief that the performing arts will engender enrichment, good character, and generosity of spirit."

To that end, the scholarship award will consist of free tuition to one session at a local summer theatre arts camp and will be given to individual children who otherwise would not have the means to attend. Individual schools should determine the candidates based on the following criteria:

1. The student has an interest in the performing arts, or teachers and/or parents feel that a child would benefit from exposure to the musical theatre.
2. A financial need for assistance with regard to this tuition exists within the student's family (to be determined by the candidates' respective school)
3. The student is congenial and helpful.

Guidelines for awarding scholarships:

Individual schools will make recommendations for scholarship candidates. The Jenna’s Dream Board of Directors will make the final determination as to the recipients. Following the selection of the winning recipients, Jenna’s Dream will send a letter of acceptance to both the school and the recipient.
