Bus Scholarship

We know the cost of getting students to the pier can add up quickly, especially for students coming from low-income families. To ensure our program is accessible, we are excited to offer a bus reimbursement scholarship to help support your travel to the theater.

FAQs


Who is eligible to receive this scholarship?

Public schools in which at least 55% of students come from low-income families are eligible to apply for this scholarship. We encourage all schools who meet this requirement to apply.

 

How much can be reimbursed?

Up to $400 may be reimbursed, with the stipulation that the reimbursement amount requested is only used to cover the cost of the bus.

 

When should we apply?

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until funds are depleted. We recommend you apply early as soon as you know your performance date.

Following your field trip to the theater, you will receive reimbursement via ACH or check.

 

Will CST help me find a bus company?

CST is not involved in the booking of the bus services. You are responsible for reserving the bus and any direct payments. The reimbursement check will only be sent to schools, not bus companies.
