Acting Manitou and its partner not-for-profit foundation, Acting Manitou Scholarships Foundation, offer financial aid to families who cannot afford to pay full tuition. Financial aid is available on a first-come, first served basis and resources are limited.

Apply by January 1, responses given on January 15
Apply by April 1, responses given on April 15

There are two deadlines for financial aid applications. Families who apply by January 1 will receive a response to their aid request on January 15. Families who apply between January 2 and April 1 will receive a response to their aid request on April 15.  Although financial aid applications will be accepted after the April 1 deadline, resources may be extremely limited or unavailable.

Acting Manitou and Acting Manitou Scholarships Foundation determine eligibility for admission without regard to a student's application for financial aid.

Financial aid applications to Acting Manitou and Acting Manitou Scholarships Foundation are highly confidential and reviewed anonymously by a Selection Committee.  Counselors, Teaching Artists and Directors are not granted access to financial aid information.

Acting Manitou maintains the same casting standards for recipients of financial aid as it does for non-recipients.

Statements and other paper documents in the Acting Manitou Scholarships Foundation confidential file are destroyed after one year.
