Scholarships

As a non-profit organization Platinum Performing Arts sets aside a budgeted amount each year to use for scholarships. These scholarships allow students in low-income families and students with disabilities to enroll in our performing arts classes, camps, and performance opportunities at a reduced cost. To receive scholarship funds, a student must apply and qualify for the scholarship for a given season (Fall, Spring & Summer). Scholarship fund recipients are selected on a first-come first-serve basis. Once our budgeted amount of scholarship funds is used, we pause all scholarship applications until the start of a new season. Scholarship funds are made possible by generous donors, as well as the revenue brought in from classes.

Platinum Performing Arts is proud and honored to share that the Summer 2025 & Fall 2025 Special Needs Scholarships have been funded by the Doreen D. Marshall Fund for Youth.
