Grants

Donors

Each year Saratoga Theatre Arts (STA) invites teachers and administrators in SUSD and Saratoga High School to apply for grants that enhance the Drama and theatre arts-related educational experience of their students.

The STA Board of Directors discusses all grants. Those awarded must be approved by a majority vote.

Below is the list of grants awarded in recent years. For any questions, please reach out to info@saratogatheatrearts.org

Thank you for your support!

Teachers & PTAs

Saratoga Theatre Arts invites you to apply for grants from our generous donors. In your application, include expected results related to improved learning outcomes and how you will measure that improvement.
