Financial Aid

Any individual who would benefit from deferred payment is eligible by completing an application form indicating that enrolment in the Deferred Payment Program would assist them. No proof of income is required.

The Deferred Payment Program will reduce the Program Fee due on the original due date to 25% of its value. The remaining 75% will be due on whichever of the following dates comes first:

• Five months from the original due date.
• The end of the program.

In order to be eligible for a Payment Waiver an individual’s gross household income must be below $60,000, or the household must be experiencing an extenuating financial circumstance, and submit, alongside the application form, any one of:

• CRA Notice of Assessment
• CRA Proof of Income Statement
• A signed letter from a principal, employer, or other pre-approved individual that details your name and address, and statement that the household income is below $60,000.
• A statement identifying an extenuating financial circumstance (for your privacy, please do not include details of the circumstance).

The Payment Waiver Program will waive the Program Fee in its entirety.

Eligibility
Eligibility is detailed for each program, but generally to be eligible an individual must:

• Be a Member of Whitby Courthouse Theatre or become one.
• Be in a position in which financial assistance would assist in keeping the arts accessible.

Application Process
The application form can be found below and completed online with supporting documentation (if required). A spot will be held in the program while the Privacy Officer reviws the application. A respince will be sent within seven business days.

Applications which are approved will be kept on file for seven years, supporting documentation will be noted on the form, but the documentation itself will be destroyed one year after the end of the season for which the application pertained.
