The American Theatre Wing has announced that the new Andrew Lloyd Webber Initiative has launched its first annual application period for 4-Year Partial University Scholarships. The deadline to apply is January 20, 2017, with final notifications made by April 2017.
Through the 4-Year Partial University Scholarships, the Wing hopes to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity, and create a strong pipeline to the professional theatre for promising artists of all backgrounds.
High school students in grade 12 who demonstrate talent and ability in the theater arts, but have a lack of resources to attend a four-year university program are eligible to apply. The student’s area of focus can be from any aspect of theater from performance, to design, to writing, to stage management, and others. Applicants should demonstrate need and talent, and passion for attending a university through an audition video or portfolio.
The scholarships can be used at an accredited private or public university or college in the United States. Each of the scholars will be provided with scholarships of up to $10,000 toward their course fees, renewable for four years so long as a minimum GPA of 3.0 is maintained.
