Summer Scholarship Information
Theatre has a home for everyone, and our goal is to reach as many young artists as possible. La Crosse Community Theatre believes everyone should have access to experience the magic of theatre, regardless of financial circumstances. LCT’s Star Academy offers an opportunity for financial assistance on a sliding scale.
Completing an application does not guarantee a scholarship award. Families who do not qualify for a scholarship can still set up a payment plan by calling the Box Office at 608-784-9292.
How do I apply?
To ensure your child’s spot in class is reserved, first register your child for your desired class session(s). Please note for Middle and High School Camps you will have to pay a registration fee ($25) for each child applying for a scholarship in your household. Our Box Office will contact you after you register to process your payment. We will apply your registration fee towards your child’s tuition. If you are awarded a full scholarship or are denied a scholarship and cannot attend the class, we will refund your registration fee in full.
You must complete an application for each child seeking a scholarship in your household. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

How much will I pay?
Awards are given based on your household income from the previous year and your household size.
For example, let’s say you have a family of 3 and your household income is $40,500. According to the chart, your family will be required to pay 40% of the tuition cost.
