The Department of Theatre offers scholarships to incoming students who display exceptional artistic talent and promise.
Criteria: We offer scholarships to incoming students who display exceptional talent and promise in theatre or dance. The Fine Arts Scholarship is renewable annually to students who actively participate in departmental programs and classes, regardless of major or minor. An audition and interview is required. These may be done on-campus or via video.
Amount: $2,000 per year for a total of $8,000 over four years.
Schedule an audition and/or interview
- Theatre performance: Prepare two contrasting pieces. (e.g., comedic/dramatic, classical/contemporary, musical theatre/legit, etc.) not exceeding three minutes in length. These memorized pieces from published theatrical works should demonstrate your range and skill as a performer.
- Theatre design, stage management, technical theatre, directing, playwriting, and other theatre fields: Bring a portfolio of your work to your interview. This might include production or construction photos, promptbooks, technical drawing, or scripts.
- Dance: You will be taught a brief routine, participate in an appropriate technique class, and perform a dance of less than three minutes that you have choreographed or that has been set for you.
