Financial assistance

Arts Alive has limited financial aid available for schools in need which may cover, for example, the cost of workshops, tickets, or transport to matinees. Schools may request financial assistance on their registration form, and will be asked to briefly explain their financial need. An Arts Alive representative will follow-up with all schools requesting financial assistance.
