The Central Illinois Stage Combat Workshop is proud to announce that we are able to offer scholarship opportunities!
Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate a desire to begin or pursue further training in stage combat, but do not have the financial means to attend the workshop. The ideal candidates are students who exemplify the qualities of positivity, open-mindedness, and generosity of spirit, and will not only benefit from the training but will continue to contribute to the stage combat community for years to come. Preference will be given to students from under-represented communities.
