Theatre Arts Scholarship

Earlham sees theatre as an essential part of the human experience; stories brought to life through imagination and shared in community can transport and transform us. The Department of Theatre Arts teaches Earlham students to create theatre that elicits empathy, challenges the intellect, and encourages intentional decision-making. The faculty strive to develop interdisciplinary theatre artists with a personal sense of responsibility to the communities in which they will live and work.

This scholarship ranges from $1,000 to $2,500 per year and is renewable for up to four years.

Eligible students must be accepted to and enroll at Earlham as part of the fall entering class and plan to participate in theater arts classes and/or productions.

Please note: Students receiving funds from the INspire Earlham Program can apply for this scholarship but are not eligible for additional funding since tuition is already covered by the INspire Earlham Program.

Recipients are chosen by the faculty in the theatre art department based on academic achievement in high school, audition submission and completed application form.

To remain eligible, you must maintain a 2.0 GPA, participate in one departmental theatre production and take one academic theatre class per year (this excludes practicum or applied theatre credit) OR take two academic theatre classes.
