The SCCT Scholarship

Information and Guidelines

The objective of the State College Community Theatre scholarship is to aid a worthy candidate in furthering his or her education and training in the theatre arts.  With this scholarship comes SCCT's hope that the recipient will repay it through his or her contribution to community theatre in the future.

2.  Be currently enrolled in—or be a high school senior accepted to and planning to enroll in—a college, university, or other institution for the purpose of furthering his or her education in any of the theatre arts

3.  Possess a grade point average of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale
