The K-State Theatre Student Development Fund was established by an anonymous donor to be used for professional development for students in the last three semesters of their undergraduate degree experience. This fund supports travel related to research & creative activity (including but not limited to theatre tickets, flights, lodging and other travel expenses). These funds will be used without restriction to race, gender, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation or disability.
