OPAS is committed to enriching the lives of local students through multiple educational approaches. Mindful of the staggering debt incurred by college loans, OPAS initiated a scholarship program to provide financial assistance to students pursuing college studies in the performing arts. The criteria for this award cover a wide range of requirements, including grade point average, community and school performance experience, volunteerism, and a commitment to major in a performing arts-related field. To date, OPAS has awarded more than thirty college scholarships.

Scholarships are awarded in the spring of each year. This past year we gave the following scholarships:

One Carolyn Fears Scholarship
Four OPAS Scholarships

DEADLINE: April 30th, 2025
