Each of our scholars will be provided with scholarships of $10,000 a year, renewable for four years ($40,000 total) so long as a minimum GPA of 3.0 is maintained. Scholars also receive exclusive opportunities including mentorship from key industry players, participation in free master classes, panels for career advancement, and much more. Who should apply? High school students in grade 12 who demonstrate talent and ability in the theatre arts, but have a lack of resources to attend a four year university program. The student’s area of focus can be from any aspect of theatre from performance, to design, to writing, to stage management, and others. Applicants should demonstrate their need, talent, and passion for attending university through their application materials, including an introduction video, personal narrative, and work samples. Competitive applicants will show future promise, studying to make an impact as an important member of the theatre community.
