Physicians for Kids Discovery Series Scholarships
VTA AND RTA: COLLABORATING TO GET YOUR STUDENTS TO THE THEATRE
Victoria Theatre Association’s Physicians for Kids Discovery Series brings more than 40,000 children to the theatre every year for outstanding productions that enhance the students’ classroom experiences.
At least 60 percent of the students attending Physicians for Kids Discovery Series do so on scholarship. That’s more than 16,000 students during the previous school year alone. We realize other students are still unable to attend due to the high cost or lack of transportation. The average cost per bus for a school field trip is $150.
Teachers spoke, and we listened! Thanks to the generous support of Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority and The Convenience Stores of Speedway, Victoria Theatre Association is proud to offer Fueling Education to help get you to the theatre for our wonderful programs.
Here’s How It Works:
- FOR SCHOOLS LOCATED ON OR WITHIN A QUARTER MILE OF AN RTA ROUTE, RTA will pick up your students, bring them to the Victoria Theatre and return them to school following the performance – ALL FREE OF CHARGE!
- FOR SCHOOLS OUTSIDE THE RTA ROUTE, don’t worry--limited scholarships are available to help pay for your busing as well.

SCHOLARSHIPS
Victoria Theatre Association understands that difficult economic times effect everyone--but especially our schools. For this reason, we are pleased to once again offer scholarships to help you and your students make it to the theatre, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and donors. Whether you’re a group of 5 or 105, there are options for you. Be sure to note the “scholarship” area of the Physicians for Kids Discovery Series application to be considered.
