Performing Arts Non-Major Scholarships
The Department of Performing Arts recognizes that some students who demonstrate exceptional ability in music, performance, theatre, or entertainment technology may be choosing to pursue a career in another field. To encourage these students to continue pursuit of their art at the collegiate level, the department awards several $1,000 scholarships to non-majors each year. These scholarships are renewable for up to four years of full-time status.
Students who receive a non-major scholarship must participate in a music ensemble, theatrical production, or radio practicum each semester (which of these activities is required depends on the area under which the scholarship was applied for). Re-applying for the scholarship each year is not required as long as there is satisfactory completion of the participation requirement.
