I don’t know how much variation there is between state festivals run through Thespians, but, at least for Georgia’s (called Thescon here), onsite acceptances weren’t offered. Even a “callback” really just meant an invitation to talk with a rep from the school in question and receive information about the program/audition dates - kind of like a prescreen.
One thing that was great, though, were scholarship auditions. Very competitive, at least in Georgia, and the amount of money offered isn’t tremendous, but I was awarded a $2000 Thespian Achievement Scholarship at this year’s Thescon. The interview portion included a lot of questions about my troupe involvement, however, so, if you’re joining Thespians specifically for college auditions, I don’t know if scholarships would be available.
