Charlotte Eilers Outreach & Scholarship Fund
The Charlotte Eilers Outreach and Scholarship Fund was established Fall 1999 in honor of the years of dedicated teaching and service. Professor Eilers contributed to the University of Northern Iowa and Cedar Valley in promoting and insuring quality educational theatre experiences for classroom teachers and young people.
The purpose of the fund is to insure that monies are available to establish and maintain drama programs in every school throughout the Cedar Valley, and bring theater to the lives of all students.
The Charlotte Eilers Outreach & Scholarship Fund would:
- provide individual student scholarships so that any student, regardless of economic circumstances, has access to any of the fee bearing programs and classes of the Sturgis Youth Theatre
- provide matching grants to schools, parent-teacher organiztions, and the like to help sponsor and support:
- residencies by members of the SYT staff in area schools
- bus transportation to UNI school time drama labs
- bus transportation from area schools to SYT productions
- sponsor SYT touring productions in area schools
- underwrite ticket costs incurred by students to attend SYT productions.

The purpose of the Cornerstone Campaign is to raise funds for the general operating expenses of the Sturgis Youth Theatre, to help pay for everything from constructing sets and costumes for a play to the printing and postage of class brochures. This three-year, $10,00 campaign is a challenge to match funds contributed by the University of Northern Iowa. Funds raised from the Cornerstone Campaign will serve as a foundation for matched giving from granting organizations, which often request that the recipient have a three year history in the community and an established funding base.
Your contribution to the Cornerstone Campaign will help us set the stage for theatre programming and productions for future generations of youth throughout Northeast Iowa.
