Scholarships & Endowments
UNCG School of Theatre Scholarships & Endowments
The UNCG School of Theatre maintains a robust retention scholarship program. These awards are given to current students to acknowledge academic, artistic, and community success. School of Theatre students apply during the fall semester for funds from nearly 20 different scholarships and 5 endowment funds.
Scholarships are awarded at the end of the fall semester and will be applied to student accounts for the spring. Students can determine their eligibility for awards by logging into Scholarship Universe with their UNCG credentials.
Endowments pay or reimburse students for expenses incurred as part of their education and/or professional development. These awards can be used to offset the cost of travel to an audition or convention, professional development fees, etc. Recipients of Endowments work with the School of Theatre Business Manager to arrange payment and/or reimbursement for their expenditures.
