At the 2010 Fall Conference it was voted that CTAM would try a new direction for the Joyce A. Schultheiss Memorial Scholarship Fund. Money raised for the scholarship program will now be awarded to individual theatre group members to assist in attending either Master Classes or the Fall Conference each year.

Anyone who is an active member of a local theatre group that has paid their dues to CTAM will be able to apply for a scholarship. The amount awarded will depend mostly on the amount raised each year through donations and from our raffle at the Fall Conference, and the number of people applying.

Money raised at the 2010 Fall Conference will be available for scholarships for the Master Classes in July 2011 and for the 2011 Fall Conference. No more than two individuals per theatre group are eligible for scholarships per year. There is no limit on the number per group that can apply.

Scholarship requests may include registration and housing, but not travel expenses.

CTAM is expecting the applicant to pay part of the expenses, along with some support from the home theatre group. Though not mandatory, CTAM would like to see local theatre groups start their own scholarship program if they do not have a program already established. (Please see the President‟s com-ments on page 3 of the May/June 2011 Callboard).
