Theatre Scholarships

Deadline: Feb. 10, 2024

Concordia awards annual scholarships to recognize excellence in the following areas of theatre: lighting, scenery, costumes, sound, stage management, and performance. Scholars are required to participate in the program but not major in theatre art.

Theatre Performance and Production Scholarships were created to recognize excellence in theatre and the potential for exceptional contributions to the Concordia community. In order to maintain the award, recipients participate at a significant level as cast or crew members in each main stage and lab theatre production during their time as a Concordia theatre scholar as well as participate in three theatre courses during their first four semesters at Concordia.

The award may be combined or stacked with other academic scholarships. Many recipients of this award also qualify for need-based scholarships, grants, or loans.
