<p>Everybody on this site – While I was reading the thread and trying to catch back up to speed I noticed someone mentioning scholarship information. Has anyone put together a list for theater scholarships? Certainly as a mother of a daughter at NYU who is receive no financial aid whatsoever I’m definitely interested in any information anyone has to share. When we were applying last year our attention was more towards gaining admittance. As her parents we are willing to make this dream come true for her, but we have told her that we think she should make any attempts she can at obtaining scholarships. Her stats as listed a few posts back look good, but are just average at NYU. I spoke with someone in financial aid who told me to obtain academic scholarships she would need to have had an ACT score of 35; that tells you a little about the bright students you find in drama. </p>
<p>I have discussed the Princess Grace foundation and Donna Reed scholarships and am hoping this year she will make an attempt. Last year we totally missed the dates as we were immersed in the application process. I also understand that the NARTS (is that the proper acronym) is only available to freshman;anyone know about this?</p>
<p>Thanks for any information available, especially for sophomores in college and above. It was definitely difficult turning down the $10,000 and $11,000 offers that were made at schools were tuition and room and board was only $30,000. Also, she received an Illinois Merit Scholar scholarship of $1,000, but that could only be used at any Illinois school or WestPoint, Naval Academy, etc. </p>
<p>Maybe it’s a project I can look into and post any information I can gather. Thanks for any input.</p>
