| Scholarship $?
Thesbohemian- Thank you for that wonderful scholarship info. Exremely helpful, our family is indeed part of that "aid poor" middle class needing merit money.
Does anyone out there have info on merit/talent scholarship $ available from SUNY Purchase or Rutgers (Mason Gross)? Out of State for both. Not having much luck getting specific info from their websites. Grades good, SATs over 1300, not a National Merit Finalist, but probably National Merit Commended Scholar. So in other words, not the top student, but a "pretty good" one.
Also merit/talent scholarship received for those type of stats at any of the other Theater or Musical Theater schools would be great. Thanks | |

| Penn State has an honors college - Schreyers - that is offered to top incoming students. This provides merit aid as well as many other perks that go along with being in Schreyers ( paid international travel programs, better housing, smaller classes, first choice to register for competitive classes, etc. ) This would be in addition to whatever talent scholarships one might be offered from the Theatre or MT departments. | |

| BiGismama, I do know out of staters with some money from Purchase and Gross, but neither schools seems to be big on talent scholarships, just kids with very high academic stats. The kids I know, all have SATs over 1400 and are top students, and it seems that these are the same kids getting awards from most of the colleges, even the audition based ones. Otherwise, the awards are merit within need. There are so many talented kids out there, that the top programs seem to have their pick and do not need to award much in talent awards, but use the money to get top stats kids. Many of these schools that have good performing arts programs do not attract kids of that calibre in their academic programs, so use the performing arts to beef up their profiles. It is rare to get much of a concession for low stats, even if the kids are very talented unless you are looking at conservatory programs that may not even want test scores or grades, just proof of a highschool diploma.
Goucher has some generous talent scholarships for performing arts, I am told by a couple of kids who have been offered money this year in that venue. | |

| Rider in NJ offers a drama minor. They have a full-ride drama scholarship (they give out ONE per year) based upon an audition. My friend who just finished up her freshman year is on this scholarship- but it does create restrictions in that you are expected to participate in EVERY school show in some way and aren't allowed to audition outside of the school. | |

| Congrats, Wishes55, to you and your son. Hope he likes SMU, it does have a wonderful drama program and is really a beautiful campus. It's always so good to hear things worked out so well. Many schools do not have the funds once they go to waitlist. | |

| Senior Showcases - Acting
I know there is a listing of schools which have senior showcases in Musical Theater in the FAQ's. I assume that those same schools (if they offer a BFA in Acting) also have senior showcases in Theater (non Musical). What I am now wondering is if anyone has compiled a list of schools that offer BFA Acting or BFA Performance (but not MT) and also do senior showcases?
So far I've got:
North Carolina School of the Arts
SUNY Purchase
DePaul University
Can anyone add to this list?
Thanks! | |

#284 | | | Carnegie Mellon does a showcase for Actors and MT people in NYC and LA. I believe that the MT'ers do not sing in LA, however, just act (LA is for screen, not stage, so no MT really)...wct can confirm this though. | |
