Performing Arts Scholarship
Each year the Department of Theatre Arts offers Performing Arts Scholarships to selected students who demonstrate exceptional ability in theatre performance or technical theatre, as well as leadership potential.
Whether you are interested in performance, tech, or a combination of both, a Performing Arts Scholarship gives you the opportunity to cultivate and enhance your skills and talents, and gives us the opportunity to invest further in you.
Performing Arts Scholarship Details
You must be accepted to Huntington University and declare a major or minor within the Theatre Arts Department to be eligible for this scholarship.
