Scholarship Information

The purpose of PuppetFest MidWest is to promote, encourage and illustrate by example the traditional skills that are the building blocks of Good Puppet Theatre. With this purpose in mind, the festival organizers are offering up to four scholarships for this event. The scholarships include room, board and registration for the entire festival. The successful applicants will be responsible for their own transportation to and from this puppet festival.

If you are a successful scholarship applicant, your obligation to PuppetFest MidWest is to write an article of 500 words or more recounting your experiences at this Festival. Your article must be mailed to PuppetFest MidWest no later than one month after PuppetFest MidWest. We will include your article (under your byline, of course) as part of a review of PuppetFest MidWest to be submitted for publication and your name will live on in PuppetFest MidWest history!
