Hope College Distinguished Artist Awards - Theatre

Hope honors talented artists in the areas of creative writing, dance, music, theater and the visual arts. You’ll need to audition or submit a portfolio. The Distinguished Artist Award in theatre is for high school seniors and transfer students who intend to enroll at Hope College in the upcoming Fall. Renewable for four years, the Distinguished Artist Awards (DAA) provides eligible incoming art, dance, music, theatre or creative writing students each year toward their college costs. Scholarships are given to students with strong academic records and outstanding creative abilities in art, dance, music, theatre or creative writing. Graduating seniors in high school and transfer students who intend to enroll in the upcoming Fall that are considering majoring or minoring in theatre at Hope are encouraged to apply. Theatre DAA recipients must major or minor in theatre. If you’re interested in design, stage management or technical theatre, the Distinguished Artist Awards are for you, too! Prepare a portfolio of your theatre and related work to present to the department. Most Distinguished Artist Awards are $3,000 per year, renewable for four years, and can be combined with an academic scholarship. To keep this scholarship, recipients must be enrolled full time, maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress, and maintain a 2.6 GPA at Hope.
