Application Instructions

The next postmark deadline is October 15, 2007.

PASS is an admissions subsidy program for schoolchildren and youth groups across Massachusetts, administered by local cultural councils. Applicants should apply directly to local councils.

• Before submitting your application to an LCC, please contact the LCC directly to inquire about their local guidelines.

• Please complete your application form, print it, sign it and mail it to the appropriate LCC. Emailed applications will not be accepted. DO NOT SEND THESE APPLICATIONS TO THE MCC.

• Application Forms are available as a PDF and a Microsoft Word document.

• If using the PDF version of the PASS Application, please note:
  • You will need Adobe's FREE Acrobat Reader to access this form.

  • Due to limitations in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software, you will be able only to view, fill-in and print the PDF application forms. You will not be able to save them on your computer. We recommend that you prepare application text in word processing software, paste it into the PDF form, and print it.

• If using the Word version of the PASS Application, please note:
  • Type your answers into the shaded gray boxes on the form. When the box stops expanding you have reached the character limit for that field.

  • To move through the form use the "Tab" key. PLEASE DO NOT USE YOUR "RETURN" KEY! Using your return key will break up the formatting and make it difficult to read and evaluate your application!

  • If you have difficulty accessing or printing the Word version, use the PDF version instead.
