Theatre Arts Scholarship Application

The Department of Theatre Arts offers scholarships to encourage talented and hard working students to participate in theatre at Puget Sound. We are most interested in students who are seeking a well-rounded liberal arts education and a thorough background in all aspects of theatre and who can participate in theatrical activity while also maintaining excellent grade point averages. We offer a one-time award of $1,500 to $2,000 to exceptional incoming students. Continuing Sophomore, Junior, and Senior students are eligible to apply for additional scholarships in future years.
