V 4
“The ruthie award was created in september 2022 with a donation from robin and bob carroll. The purpose of the ruthie award endowment is to promote the development and recognition of campcraft skills among campers and staff as an element of traveling players summer curriculum and programs. The endowment fund consists of 10,000 us treasury i-bonds through treasury direct. The endowment funds are permanently restricted funds, to which anyone can contribute by donor request/dedication. Only interest and earnings on the bonds can be used for awards. The principal of the bond is to remain invested to generate future earnings. Interest on the endowment fund can be used for staff awards, camper awards, and camper scholarships. The amount of these awards is designated by the executive director. At least one staff award, camper award, and scholarship is distributed annually. The fund can also go towards purchases of other needs such as materials for outdoor enrichment. Some examples of outdoor enrichment activities administered by the camp include fire building, pitching tents and tarps, and cooking over a fire. In the event of a change in the mission of traveling players ensemble to where campcraft skills are no longer a part of the programming, the restrictions on the principle and any accrued interest can be removed and the funds may be repurposed and awarded as financial aid by vote of the board of directors”

| IRS990ScheduleI/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | TRAVELING PLAYERS ENSEMBLE IS EAGER TO FIND SCHOLARSHIP CAMPERS THAT ARE A GOOD FIT WITH OUR COMMUNITY. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS BASED ON THREE FACTORS FINANCIAL NEED OF FAMILY, TALENT AND/OR DEDICATION OF PERFORMER, AND NEEDS OF TPES ENSEMBLES. THE PROCEDURE TO BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR A SCHOLARSHIP THE STUDENT WRITES A LETTER EXPLAINING WHY THEY WANT TO BE A MEMBER OF THE TRAVELING PLAYERS PROGRAMS AND WHAT SPECIAL QUALITIES THEY WOULD BRING TO THE ENSEMBLE. THE STUDENT ASKS A TEACHER OR COACH WHO KNOWS THEM WELL TO FILL OUT THE SHORT RECOMMENDATION FORM. PARENTS PROVIDE A COPY OF THEIR MOST RECENT FEDERAL TAX RETURN TO VERIFY ELIGIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL AID. IF IT LOOKS LIKE THE STUDENT IS ELIGIBLE AND A GOOD FIT FOR OUR PROGRAMS THEN WE SCHEDULE AN INTERVIEW. AWARDS VARY FROM 10 TO 97 OF TUITION. A SINGLE APPLICATION ALLOWS A STUDENT TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A YEARS WORTH OF TRAVELING PLAYERS CAMPS, CLASSES, AND EVENTS. THERE IS NO ANNUAL LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT THAT WE CAN AWARD, AND NO LIFETIME CAP.WE HAVE HAD A HISTORY OF AWARDING A SINGLE STUDENT FOR 7 YEARS AND OVER 21,000 IN GRANTS. RETURNING SCHOLARSHIP STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO RE-APPLY EVERY YEAR. |
