Terms of the Scholarship

We encourage the scholarship recipient to pursue a major in Theater or a double-major in Theater and another discipline. The scholarship recipient must meet the following two criteria each year for the scholarship to be renewed each year:

• participation (as a performer, crew member, or production team member) in at least one of the four Department-sponsored theater productions each year
• enrollment in at least one 4-credit Theater course (or a combination of Theater courses for a total of at least 4 credits) each year

Please note that the Theater Scholarship replaces any Ursinus College Scholarship previously offered by Ursinus College.

Students with theater design, theater technology, and/or stage management portfolio should apply for the Performing and Visual Arts Design and Technology (PVDT) Scholarship.
