EdTA Membership Grant

A teacher introduces an award at the Theatre Education Conference.

Theatre matters.

It belongs in our classrooms and communities – now more than ever. Yet the role of the theatre educator has become increasingly complex, and financial support is often uncertain or even eliminated.

To help meet this moment, the Educational Theatre Foundation is proud to introduce the EdTA Membership Grant. Each year, we will offer up to 30 grants to support educators and programs facing financial hardship. These grants may be used to cover the costs of starting a new EdTA Thespian troupe or reactivating a lapsed one.

Award Cycle

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with responses provided within 30 days of submission.
