SCHOLARSHIPS


There are a limited number of scholarships available to outstanding undergraduate theatre majors. These grants are awarded on the basis of talent and potential, not need. Competition for scholarships is based upon audition, portfolio review, interview, and recommendations, GPA and theatre participation. Scholarship Applications will be available to incoming students at their interview/audition and to continuing students in the Spring semester every year. The forms for both incoming and continuing students are available for download via the departmental guides and manuals page.

Departmental scholarship recipients are required to work four (4) hours weekly for a total of 60 hours per semester in addition to all class requirements. Failure to complete the required hours will result in revocation of the scholarship. Scholarship renewal is available for those who continue to meet the scholarship criteria, complete all required work hours, and receive a positive evaluation from the scholarship hours supervisor. Scholarships require you maintain a 3.0 Theatre GPA.
