Scholarship Program
The deadline to apply for an EVCT college scholarship is June 1st, annually.
East Valley Children’s Theatre awards former EVCT performers and technicians with scholarships for higher education. Selected candidates need to be enrolled in or intend to enroll full-time in a two-year junior college, four-year undergraduate college or university, graduate program, or professional theatre-training program. This is a one-year scholarship for the school year beginning in the fall. All applicants and recipients may reapply each year. Proof of enrollment is required.
EVCT also offers scholarships for classes, troupe membership, camps, and Main Stage Productions. Scholarships given are either a ¼ or ½ payment scholarship for the program requested. All scholarships are directed to our Scholarship Committee for consideration. The number of scholarships given in a fiscal year depends upon the amount of money in the Scholarship Fund. This varies from year to year.

Patricia and Robert Goyer Memorial Scholarship Fund
Patricia and Robert Goyer were active in children’s theater while growing up in Indiana. They met one another at DePauw University, while involved in a play. Patricia became a high school drama teacher and was later one of the founders of the Children’s Theater program in Athens, Ohio, where they were also active in Ohio Valley Summer Theater. They moved to Chandler, Arizona in 1981 when Robert accepted the position as Chair of the Communication Department at ASU. They were founders of Chandler Children’s Theatre (CCT), serving on the board for many years. The Goyers continued to be strong supporters for many years after CCT became EVCT in 1997. Patricia passed in 2013 and Robert in 2018.
