The Boston Area Guild of Puppetry offers scholarships to help members attend puppetry festivals and workshops. Scholarship awards are determined by the Scholarship Committee, and are generally no more than $150.
Scholarship recipients must be a member in good standing of the Boston Area Guild of Puppetry. That means membership dues must be paid in the year the request is made. Recipient must report back to the committee on their experience at the festival or workshop, and if possible, also share their experience at a guild meeting or in an article for The Control Stick.
There are now two application cycles each year. The Spring application deadline is May 1st with scholarships awarded in June. The Fall cycle has a deadline of September 1st, with scholarships awarded in October.
If you applied in the past and never received a response, it may have been a problem with our web form, so please try again.
To apply, send the following information to the Scholarship Committee of Margaret Moody and Charlotte Dore at this address: scholarship@bagop.org. You may request more than once, but funds are limited.
