Financial Aid
Our goal is to ensure that any student who wishes to participate may do so. No student is turned away because of a family’s inability to pay the tuition. Aid is based on need.
New financial aid policies and a confidential application form may be found HERE.
If you would like to provide support and help sponsor a student, please call
Karyl Lynn Burns at 805.667.2912, ext. 224, or email her at klburns@rubicontheatre.org.
Oakie Awards
A limited number of merit and talent-based financial awards are made possible through the generosity of the Jack Oakie and Victoria Horne Oakie Charitable Foundation. These awards are given at the discretion of the administrative staff and approved by the foundation trustees.

Testimonials
“This was a wonderful, positive, and enlightening learning experience for my daughter. This workshop enabled her to acquire a higher sense of self worth and self control. Her confidence has soared, and she has a more optimistic outlook on life. This was the biggest opportunity our family has ever experienced! Thanks again and again.”
