Theatre Scholarships

This program supports incoming students at Aurora University who demonstrate strong talent in performance or technical theatre areas, such as acting, singing, stage management, design, sound, or lighting. Applicants do not need to declare a theatre minor to be eligible for the funding. The selection process involves submitting a video audition or portfolio online, followed by a short interview with the university faculty to assess the student's fit for the program. Awarded funds serve as a supplement to any academic merit scholarships or need-based financial aid the student already receives. The award can be renewed annually for up to four years of undergraduate study, provided the total amount of scholarships and gift assistance does not exceed the cost of tuition.
