The Peter Tiboris
Legacy Scholarship 

Mission Statement

The Peter Tiboris Legacy Scholarship was established in honor of the founder of MidAmerica Productions, Inc., whose journey began in the small town of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and was guided by a lifelong dream of performing on the stage of Carnegie Hall. While Peter’s path ultimately led him to build opportunities for others, his belief in the transformative power of the performing arts remained central to everything he did.
