The Valley Theatre Company Scholarship will enter its third year in 2023. Each year we offer up to two $1,000 scholarships. The scholarship is intended as a reward to a graduating high school senior who has invested their time, effort and love into theater in our community—whether it be on-stage or backstage. The candidates for this scholarship need only be pursuing higher education and have participated in theater productions throughout their high school years. It is our hope that this scholarship will give encouragement to students to pursue their dreams (wherever they may take them) and feel value in the hard work they have given to Ellensburg theater.
