Portia Ann Ford Memorial Scholarship Fund
Helping youth achieve their dreams in theater and in life has always been a goal of the BVT staff. This scholarship fund, named for the late mother of artistic director M.A. Sterling, helps in attaining that goal by providing support for  youth and staff members striving to increase their theatrical education.  Since its inception the fund has helped youth take part in college level courses, out-of-town workshops, and UIL one-act competitions, as well as attend productions by local community theaters and take part in BVT's youth program.  Over 150 youths have benefited from this fund and we would like to see that number increase to where  every child who wants to experience theater can have that opportunity. 
To support the Portia Ann Ford Memorial Scholarship Fund please attend annual  scholarship events such as Ebony Overtures coming in February.  You can also make a direct contribution by clicking on the button below, printing out the scholarship donation form, and mailing your check to  our mailing address.
