**SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIPS
FOR INCOMING FRESHMAN IN THEATER AND DANCE!**
The university has made merit-based scholarships available for first year students in
theater and dance. These scholarships are up to $22,500 for four years and are based on audition and portfolio
presentations. To compete for one of these scholarships,
the prospective student must apply to the university by the
traditional route, and also make an appointment to audition
in the case of acting and dance concentrations, and interview/present
portfolios in the case of directors, and scenic, costume or lighting designers.
See specific department requirements below.
Auditions and interviews
for the 2008-2009 year scholarships will be held on the special
Theater Weekend on November 9-11, 2007.
In order to be eligible, you must
indicate that Theater or Dance is your intended major at the
time of application, although you may change your mind after
the freshman year and still maintain the scholarship.
