We have two dedicated scholarships available to potential Academy students. If you would like to support young artists in these or our other disciplines you can name a scholarship as a legacy, or in honour of someone for whom it would be meaningful. We endeavour to connect the scholarship winners with the donors.

The Phil Kudelka Theatre Scholarship is a memorial fund created to support young actors as they develop their performing skills at the Ross Creek Centre for the Arts Theatre Academy. Phil Kudelka served on the board of Directors for our organisation, and sent his children to our camps. He saw the value of the arts in a well-rounded citizen and especially connected with the theatre we develop here.
His family is proud to honour his memory by providing the support to the young artists pursuing creative development at Ross Creek that he nurtured in himself.
The scholarship will be awarded to individuals who demonstrate the desire to develop their acting skills, the curiosity to learn more about the medium and exceptional potential as a performer with a desire to pursue it after high school.
The scholarship will be presented to one individual who has participated in the NS High School Drama Fest or other regional drama program, or who otherwise has shown a commitment to the art form, and/or sent in a complete application form. The recipients will be announced at the Nova Scotia High School Drama Fest in collaboration with Theatre Nova Scotia.

The Al Whittle Film Scholarship has been created to support young filmmakers as they develop their skills at the Ross Creek Centre for the Arts Film Academy. Al Whittle was a life-long film buff who operated the Acadia Cinema in Wolfville for decades and who left a legacy to keep the love of film alive for future generations. The full academy scholarship will be awarded to individuals who demonstrate the desire to develop their film-making skills, the curiosity to learn more about the medium and exceptional potential, with a desire to pursue it after high school through a short film submitted to the WhitFlix Short Film Festival each spring. We encourage students to submit an original film to the Whit Flix Festival as per our guidelines which will be announced shortly.
