Grants

Donors

Each year Saratoga Theatre Arts (STA) invites teachers and administrators in SUSD and Saratoga High School to apply for grants that enhance the Drama and theatre arts-related educational experience of their students.  

The STA Board of Directors discusses all grants. Those awarded must be approved by a majority vote.  

Below is the list of grants awarded in recent years. For any questions, please reach out to

​Thank you for your support!
