Student Ticket Subsidy Applications Open August 15th, 2023 at 8:00AM CT/9:00AM ET

The Student Ticket Subsidy (STS) grant program provides funds for artist fees, tickets, and transportation fees for students from TN public schools to experience various cultural opportunities, arts disciplines, and arts learning from artists during the school day. Since 2010, the program has given the opportunity to approximately one million students to experience the arts.

Funding for STS is allocated per county according to school-age population and by demand. Schools may apply for up to $3,000 in STS funding. STS applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and by demand until all funds are expended.

Projects must occur between September 15, 2023-May 24, 2024 and applications must be received within 30 days of the proposed project.
