Summer Pre-College Program Scholarship Opportunity

If you are a mom of a high school student who has an interest in drama, this one is for you.

Summer Pre-College Program Scholarship Opportunity

Two years ago my daughter Morgan attended the Summer Pre-College program at Marist College. The course was such a positive experience for Morgan, our family has maintained close communication with Marist ever since. Last year, Marist gave me scholarships to share with my friends.

Yesterday, Marist again offered me a handful of scholarships to the Theatre Pre-College course starting on June 25th, exclusive to my friends – and any moms you might know with a drama kid. The scholarship is for $825 and covers 25% of the total cost of attendance.

I have quite a bit of experience with sending my children to pre-college programs. Although the cost is typically $3,000-$5,000, I can tell you that the experience is well worth it. My children were far more confident about going off to college when they graduated from high school. They learned to live in a dorm, do their own laundry and get along with roommates and as a bonus they earned college credits.

This course offers high school students the opportunity to “test-drive” a college theatre course while living on campus for two weeks. Upon successful completion of the Summer Theatre Institute, each student earns three transferrable college credits for the Marist course ENG 150 Introduction to Theatre. The program also includes seeing live theatre, both locally and with a trip to Broadway with a backstage tour (last summer’s Theatre Institute toured “The Book of Mormon” and had a private talk-back with the cast of “Jersey Boys”.) Best of all, they keep the program small so that the student’s experience is an intimate and rewarding one.

Space and scholarships are limited. If you are interested in learning more, contact program director, Brian Apfel, at 845.575.3996 or precollege@marist.edu.

Program Website | Video | Printable BrochureI really don’t want to waste these scholarships as I know there are moms out there who will be paying full price or will decide not to send their child to a pre-college program because of the cost. Please feel free to forward this offer to anyone you know who might be interested.

I hope 2017 is off to a great start for you.

Best,
Maria Bailey

Theatre Pre-College Scholarship at Marist College

Summer Pre-College Program
Scholarship Opportunity

This is one of those opportunities I want to pass along to you because it’s a good one and I’m not getting paid to promote anything.

As you may know, my daughter Morgan attended the Summer Pre-College program last year at Marist College. The course was such a positive experience for Morgan, our family has maintained close communication with Marist ever since. I was recently notified that they still have a couple spots left in their Theatre Pre-College course, starting on June 26th so, thanks to our relationship, Marist has given me the opportunity to promote a handful of half tuition scholarship to listeners of MomTalk Radio!

This course offers high school students the opportunity to “test-drive” a college theatre course while living on campus for two weeks. Upon successful completion of the Summer Theatre Institute, each student earns three transferrable college credits for the Marist course ENG 150 Introduction to Theatre. The program also includes seeing live theatre, both locally and with a trip to Broadway with a backstage tour (last summer’s Theatre Institute toured “The Book of Mormon” and had a private talk-back with the cast of “Jersey Boys”.) Best of all, they keep their program small so that the student’s experience is an intimate and rewarding one.

I really don’t want these scholarships to go to waste so please feel free to pass it along to a mom who might have a child who is interested.

If you are interested in learning more, contact program director, Brian Apfel (mention my name) at 845.575.3996 or precollege@marist.edu
