On February 3rd, the Public Affairs & Outreach department at the American Theatre Wing (Founder of the Tony Awards and home of the Obie Awards) opened applications for the 2022 Andrew Lloyd Webber Initiative University Scholarships - Established in 2016, this scholarship offers public high school seniors $40k ($10k a year, renewable for 4 years), along with other exclusive opportunities and recognition from the American Theatre Wing, to pursue theatre studies at the University level.
They are looking for the following:
- Applicants from populations historically underrepresented in the theatre industry who demonstrate exceptional talent and economic need but have a lack of financial resources to attend college.
- Especially applicants interested in "behind the scenes" disciplines such as stage management, lighting design, playwriting, arts administration, to name a few, in addition to actors/performers.
The deadline is Monday, February 28th at 11:59PM Eastern Time (ET).
