Before you apply
AI guidanceThings to double-check on the official page.
Important checks
- Verify on the official page whether the scholarship expects a double major in theatre and a liberal arts field, since the provider mission also mentions a theatre minor in one section.
- Confirm whether there is one award or multiple winners, because the provider mission mentions three winners while the record lists number_of_awards as 1.
- Check the official application page for any account, transcript, or profile requirements not shown in this excerpt.
- Make sure your essay directly answers how a liberal arts major benefits a student pursuing a career in theatre.
Missing or unclear on the listing

- Whether high school seniors are eligible, despite related tags
