Scholarship Opportunities

Dayton Live’s goal is to ensure all young people experience live theatre. Thanks to our generous sponsors and donors, we are pleased to offer scholarships to help you and your students visit our theatre.

Scholarships are awarded to schools in the form of discounted ticket prices in the amounts of $4, $3, or $2 based on each school’s free and reduced lunch percentages. Keep in mind, scholarship ticket prices cover student tickets and not paid chaperone tickets.

Scholarships are awarded until all scholarship funds are depleted. The earlier you apply, the more likely you will be awarded a scholarship.

Scholarships are not guaranteed.

Transportation Scholarships

Through the generous support of the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority, Dayton Live is proud to offer the Fueling Education Scholarship. The Fueling Education Scholarship helps to get you and your students to the theatre for our engaging programs. Limited scholarships are available for each Discovery Series season.

Teachers can only be awarded one Fueling Education voucher per season.

For schools located within a quarter-mile of an RTA route:
You must submit an application, which can be filled out below. RTA will notify you if they are available to pick up your students, take them to the show, and return them following the performance free of charge.

Schools must be in Montgomery County and they must be able to get to a bus stop to be picked up. Groups must have 25 or more riders. Groups of less than 25 will not be considered.

This service is offered on a limited basis and is dependent upon the daily availability of buses and operators. Teachers may request one Fueling Education voucher per season. All requests require RTA and your school district’s approval, so plan early!

When you click “submit,” a copy will automatically be sent to Dayton Live and the RTA. You will receive a confirmation from the RTA no later than two weeks before your scheduled performance.

If your school is located outside of the RTA route:
There may be additional scholarship resources available to provide transportation to and from your performance. Please email carolyn.seymour@daytonlive.org for more information.

Fueling Education Application

Remember! You must complete your Discovery Series registration before you request fueling education assistance.
