How does my child qualify for a grant to attend Tannen’s Magic Camp and other educational opportunities?
Visit our Grants page where you’ll find the Scholarship Application and the Parental Permission Form. Both of these need to be filled out, as well as a 1,000 word typewritten essay on what the potential grant recipient hopes to achieve with this experience. The board reviews all applications thoroughly and chooses a number of young people we feel will benefit most from the grant. The decisions of the board are final.
