Support WTC.
Serious training costs what it costs. Donations are how we make sure cost isn't what decides which children get to become artists.
Why your gift matters.
West Texas Conservatory is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We offer need-based scholarships and bursaries so that any serious child in our community can study music, dance, or visual art at the level they deserve, regardless of their family's finances. Scholarships are built into how we operate, and they're funded almost entirely by donations from WTC families, community members, and local supporters. Every gift goes directly to that work.

Any amount helps. These are reference points, not minimums.
Monthly giving is the single most helpful kind of support we receive, because it lets us commit to scholarship students a full year at a time. You'll also have the option to cover the transaction fee so that 100% of your intended donation reaches WTC.
