THOMAS E. PHILLIPS
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
One of MCP goals is to administer an annual educational scholarship program in support of students pursuing academic studies in the performing arts, visual arts, or a production discipline in their post-secondary education. In 1997 after the death of board member Thomas Phillips, the scholarship was renamed in his honor. MCP sets an annual amount to be given out, up to $1000.00, and that amount may be divided among qualifying individuals. Students from our service area that meet the scholarship requirements are welcome to apply and be given consideration. The Thomas E.Phillips Memorial Scholarships are not eligible for renewal.Deadline is April 1st each year.
This scholarship, in memory of Thomas, relies on the generosity of our sponsors and kind-hearted donations from theater patrons.
