Scholarship Information
QCT OFFERS THREE DIFFERENT SCHOLARSHIPS:
The Rose Inghram Scholarship Fund – assisting current and former QCT students in pursuing their craft. Monies may be used for workshops and theatre camps outside of QCT or for resources needed to launch a theatre career, such as professional headshots.
The Rose Lacquement Scholarship Fund – assisting students who have previously taken classes and/or been involved with productions at QCT. Based on merit, monies are granted to students who wish to participate in a workshop at QCT.
The Bee Jay Adams Fund – assisting students who have not previously participated in a class at QCT. Administered by the Community Foundation of the Quincy Area, monies are used for students of underserved families and families of need to participate in a workshop at QCT.
If you or your business would like to make a tax-deductible donation to any of these funds to help us bring a quality arts education to a worthy child, or if you would like to consider QCT as a part of your “Planned Giving”, please contact Managing Artistic Director Lenny Bart for further details, 217-222-3209 or director@1qct.org.
If a student wishes to apply for a scholarship, he or she must hand-write an essay, detailing the following:
1. What is prompting you to take this particular class?
2. What do you hope to learn from this class?
3. How will you use this information in the future?
Parents should also include the following information:
1. Does your family qualify for free or reduced lunches at school?
2. Has there been a current hardship in the family (please explain; i.e. loss of work, department restructuring, death in the family, etc.)
