The application window opens February 1st at 9:00am for performances happening from March 1 to May 30th.
-You will be able to download the grant application on FEB 1st at 9am then its a mad dash to get the form filled out and sent in. But I will send you a copy of a previously filled out grant application so you’ll be able to see what information is required. It will be your official “cheat sheet” to give you an edge. Be sure to ask for that now! Gathering all the required info in advance will give you a head start over others. This is a First come/first served situation.
You will need a confirmation/contract from me as well as proof of my Michigan residency. Email me for those and I’ll send them along.
For assembly shows scheduled for performances March 1st-May 31st, 2024, the application window opens FEB 1st at 9am.
These are the kinds of savings you’ll get:
| Full Price | Grant Rebate | You Pay |
| Any one show $895 | $671.25 | $223.75 |
| Get any 2 shows this year (full price $1790) | $1342.50 | $447.50 |
| Get any 3 shows (Full price $2685) | $2013.75 | $672.25 |
(Because one of the team members of Scheer Genius Assembly Shows has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, these shows qualify at the higher 75% award).
“Doug made the application process so easy, I’m surprised more schools don’t ask for these funds.”
-Graebner Elementary School, Utica MI
(Please note payments in full to Doug Scheer must be made on the days of the performances and the grant awards will come to you as a rebate once the final paperwork if submitted unless otherwise discussed.)
When the grant funds are exhausted the application window will be closed until the next round when another round of funding is available for shows.
This means you need to submit your application as close as you can to FEB 1st at 9am.
Of course, others will be vying for the same funds so this is a first-come-first served operation.
I’ve created a grant application help-guide that I’ll be happy to email to you. Just request that pdf guide when filling out the CONTACT ME form on my website:
