CSUB Theatre Majors

Scholarships for Theatre Majors

Scholarship applications are generally due in early May for the following academic year. Announcements are posted on the theatre callboard.

To apply, students write a letter of application and turn it into the Theatre Department Office along with a current transcript and résumé. An Academic Scholarship Application must also be on file at the Financial Aid Office. This application can be found at: https://stars.csub.edu/STARS/

Students then participate in a “Theatre Interview” at which time they present monologues, a prompt book, or a portfolio of their work.

In addition, the Theatre Faculty may grant scholarships to students attending the CSU Summer Arts Program. Interested students should write a letter of application and submit a résumé to the Department Chair.
