CWRU Undergraduate Theater Scholarships

Case Western Reserve University has made merit-based scholarships available for prospective theater students.  Each year, the Department of Theater awards four full-tuition scholarships to students who intend on majoring in theater, and two $10,000 scholarships to students who intend on minoring in theater, or those interested in pursuing theater as an extracurricular activity at CWRU.

FOUR FULL TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS for THEATER MAJORS

For students intending to major in theater at CWRU, we have FOUR FULL TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS to award.  Each scholarship is a full-tuition, four-year scholarship (room and board not included). To retain the scholarship, the student must declare theater as a major by the end of their freshman year, as well as maintain the stipulated GPA.

TWO $10,000 SCHOLARSHIPS for THEATER MINORS

For students intending to minor in theater, or pursue theater as an extracurricular activity, we have two $10,000 SCHOLARSHIPS to award.  Each scholarship is a four-year scholarship. To retain the scholarship, students must contribute to theater productions in either a performance, design, or technical capacity on an annual basis, as well as maintain the stipulated GPA.

HOW TO APPLY FOR THE SCHOLARSHIPS

To compete for one of these scholarships, the prospective student must apply to the university by the traditional route, make an appointment to audition and/or present a portfolio with CWRU Theater Faculty, and complete a CWRU Theater Scholarship Application form (form will be sent once an appointment has been made). Audition and Portfolio requirements are the same for both scholarships.  See specific audition and portfolio requirements below.

Please Note: The audition and portfolio presentation process is for scholarship eligibility only.  If you are admitted to CWRU and want to study theater, but do not receive one of the theater scholarships, you are welcome to study theater with us! Transfer students are not eligible for the scholarship.

HOW TO SCHEDULE A SCHOLARSHIP AUDITION OR PORTFOLIO PRESENTATION

ATTEND SCHOLARSHIP WEEKEND

Scholarship weekend gives prospective students the opportunity to stay at CWRU for the weekend with a current CWRU theater student. Prospective students will have the opportunity to audition and/or present a portfolio for the scholarship, take a campus tour, participate in an acting or design workshop, attend an undergraduate theater production, meet with faculty and students, and ask questions about the program.  If you wish to be notified regarding registration for Scholarship Weekend, please email Professor Bohan at christopher.bohan@case.edu
