Coastal Carolina University offers a variety of scholarships (merit-based and talent-based). Admitted students are automatically considered for merit-based awards. The department awards a variety of talent-based scholarships that require an audition and/or interview. These scholarships are available to any student who majors in Theatre or Musical Theatre. There are a limited number of awards available, and the award is competitive. Students who submit an application for admission by January 15, 2009 will receive priority consideration for the university's merit scholarships. Specific criteria for each award are listed throughout the Scholarship Opportunities Brochure. |
The Scholarship Opportunities Brochure contains information on all of Coastal's scholarships for the 2009-2010 academic year. To apply for scholarships as a new or continuing student you must be admitted to Coastal Carolina University and submit the completed Undergraduate Scholarship Application by March 1, 2007. Applicants of these application-based scholarships will be notified by May 1 regarding the results of their application. Students who are awarded talent-based scholarships will be informed of their acceptance and scholarship award by official letter.

Applicants must attend a scheduled audition and/or submit evidence of artistic work through portfolio, DVD, videotape or audiotape. Recommendations from performing arts teachers or professionals with knowledge of the student’s talent are suggested and should be brought in a sealed envelope to the audition or sent with the support material.
Scholarship applications and evidence of artistic work should be submitted as early as possible but will be accepted any time prior to the deadline of March 1. The faculty of the major department will evaluate student abilities and awards will
be made within two weeks of the faculty review of the candidate’s performance or other
artistic work.
Awards will be renewed annually if the student completes at least 30 credit hours per academic year, maintains a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA with satisfactory progress toward a degree, and continues to be actively involved with the Department of Theater or demonstrates continued artistic development. Funding is available for a maximum of eight semesters. Students will be recommended for renewal following the annual review process for majors. |
