Theatre Scholarship

Five scholarships are available for first-year (including transfer) students pursuing studies in theatre. Awarded by Trinity Western University, these entrance scholarships of $2000 are renewable for up to 3 additional years ($8000 total over 4 years).

The scholarships are granted to students interested in various aspects of theatre arts. For acting students, auditions and interviews are required.
