The Fine Arts Merit Award Scholarship (FAMAS) is a four-year scholarship specifically for incoming freshmen from Kern County. Awardees receive $1000 each year. An audition or interview, a short essay, and a letter of recommendation are needed.  Information about the FAMAS can be found here.

The Theatre Programs's scholarship fund, "Ham & Wry," is sometimes awarded to promising incoming freshmen. There also may be other CSUB scholarships for which you qualify.
