  • 1.  NC scholarships

    Posted 02-22-2019 20:57
    Hi Friends!
    My students have informed me that our guidance counselor is doing a poor job helping them find scholarships, particularly theatre related scholarships. What resources can I use to point my students in the right direction? I know there are scholarship auditions at our local festival, but beyond that, how can I help them?

    Thanks,

    Sheryl

    Hello, Sheryl! There are national scholarships available for inducted Thespians, you can read more about them here. Deadlines are coming up soon-April 1!

    They should always check with the institution they are hoping to attend after they graduate. Additionally, they should search other theatre organizations' websites for opportunities. There's a good list to start with on our Advocacy page

    Or try a reputable scholarship locator, like this one offered through the Department of Labor:
