Ray DiSandro Memorial Scholarship

Ray DiSandro was a dedicated MCT member who left us too soon in 2016. Talented and kind hearted, Ray wore many hats for MCT and throughout the local community. He worked behind the scenes on sound and technical aspects of our shows, and occasionally showed off his acting and singing skills on stage as well. This scholarship presentation is in his honor, as we remember our dear friend.

 

Methacton Community Theater has given at least one scholarship to a graduating high school student every year since its inception. We award these scholarships to students who are planning to continue their education and have been active with MCT. Involvement can include acting, dancing, or singing, participating in production activities, stage crew, orchestra, costumes, props, sets, or participating in any of the many MCT volunteer opportunities.

 

Scholarship Application: Students graduating in their Senior year of High School should request application instructions by sending an email to mctscholars@gmail.com  Applications can be accepted starting in March. The deadline for MCT to receive the completed scholarship application materials is Wednesday, July 2, 2025.
