@bfahopeful - The ones I know of are all merit-based (especially National Merit, but often had similar for high academic/test stats). The rubrics may have changed a bit since we went through this four years ago, but at that time Wright State offered full ride (I think they may only offer full in-state tuition now, but not sure. A current freshman also got talent on top of that), Alabama, Arizona and Oklahoma (University?? - a state school, not OCU that everyone talks about here). CCM (University of Cincinnati) has the Cincinnatus scholarship. I can’t remember for sure, but I think NKU also offered up to full ride. I’m sure there are are others, but these schools sent us heaps of “enticing” mail and I checked to see that they had decent offerings in the Theater/MT department. We ended up limiting S’s geographic range to MidWest, mostly.
