SUMMER STAGE:

Mainstage aims to be one of the most affordable summer programs in South Jersey but we know participating in such programs can result in financial strain.

While Mainstage does not accept partial payments, we offer the following flexible payment options:

  • Credit Card

  • PayPal Credit: Up to 6 months to pay with no interest

  • PayPal Pay in 4: Make four interest-free payments

If Summer Stage tuition is a financial strain, we’re here to help. Partial scholarships are available through our Ruth Ann Minnick Scholarship Fund. To apply, please submit proof of household income (e.g., pay stubs, W-2s, or tax returns). If there are special circumstances affecting your finances, please include them in your application. Rest assured, all information will be kept confidential.

You can complete the scholarship application here or by selecting “Yes” to the financial assistance question at the end of the Summer Stage registration form. We kindly ask that you submit your application at least two weeks before the start of the session you wish to enroll your child in. Once your application is received, we’ll contact you within 7-14 business days with further instructions on how to proceed with registration and submit your family fee. Please note, Mainstage is unable to provide full scholarships as we aim to assist as many families as possible with our limited scholarship fund.

Additionally, you may qualify for further assistance through the NJ CCR&R Subsidy Program. We are approved to accept subsidy for Summer Stage in 2025 and you can check your eligibility, contact your county representative, and learn more about the program here. If you would like an application please email scholarships@mainstage.org and we will gladly share the current application with you.

If you have any questions about making Summer Stage more affordable, please reach out to us at scholarships@mainstage.org.
