Scholarships

Scholarships are available to majors and minors in the Theatre Department. Each scholarship has specific criteria, but university policy dictates that all recipients maintain full-time status with 12 units of coursework throughout the period of the award. Scholarship students must also maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA, but a higher GPA is required to obtain some scholarships. In addition to these university requirements, theatre scholarship recipients must be significantly involved in departmental productions during both semesters of the academic year for which they receive the award and are asked to sign an acceptance letter agreeing to this requirement.

In order to apply for scholarships with the Theatre Department, students must file a scholarship application with the Financial Aid Office between October 1st and December 15th. Students who wish to apply for scholarships but do not have financial need must also complete the application with the Financial Aid Office.  Portfolios and auditions are held in March of every year at CSU Chico.  Please contact the Theatre Department at 898-6161 for additional information.

Awards are paid 50 percent at the beginning of each semester if the award is over $600. If under $600, the award will be paid 100 percent for the fall semester.
