Story
The Wise Investment Scholarship Fund was created in 2015 to assist families with tuition to the Springer Theatre Academy. At Springer, we are committed to making our programs accessible to our community. With your help this Giving Tuesday, we can provide more scholarships to deserving students across the region.
Wise Investment funds provide scholarships to deserving students at cost, so no Springer profits are recorded. Your donation will go directly to paying for teacher salaries, classroom supplies, and other program materials so that every student who wants to "take a chance on day 1", no matter their family's financial situation, can do so.

The opportunity to take part in Springer Theatre Academy has been one of our family’s top highlights of 2022. Each personality looked forward to different things - the thrill of adventure in learning something new for one; forming new relationships for another - but both students came away with a new sense of confidence and a new understanding of their place in the world. One overcame extreme anxiety of spending time in a new place. He learned how to let his guard down in a safe space and fully participate in an ensemble, supporting fellow students and boldly stepping up in turn. One thrived in a new place, learning to receive instruction from teachers and use her energy & focus to create something new alongside her peers. Our whole family is grateful for a place to stretch and learn, a place to fully be just as you are, and a place be a part of something good.
The Springer Theater Academy stands as a beacon of creativity, inspirations, and growth. It is a place where dreams are born, talents are honed, and the extraordinary emerges from the ordinary. Within its walls, young minds are awakened to the power of storytelling, the magic of performance, and the beauty of self-expression. It is a sanctuary where hearts are set ablaze with the fire of imagination, where self-doubt is transformed into self-belief, and where the seeds of lifelong friendships are sown. But, my dear friends, we must not forget that the transformative power of the Springer Theater Academy is not accessible to all. In a world where financial barriers often overshadow dreams, the investment scholarship acts as a bridge, connecting talented individuals with the opportunity to realize their potential. It is a lifeline that ensures that no deserving student is left behind, regardless of the economic circumstances. It embodies the spirit of inclusivity, reminding us that talent does not know boundaries, and that the stage is open to all who dare to dream.
