Requirements

This program is open to seniors graduating from high schools in Washington who are members of the International Thespian Society.

Applicants must be planning to attend a college or university and major or minor in performance, technical theater, or theater education.

They must have a GPA of 2.7 or higher.

Applications are accepted in 3 categories: 1) performance requires a 2minute solo audition at the organization's state conference; 2) technical theater requires a portfolio of work; and 3) theater education requires essays on their most inspirational teacher, why they want to be a theater teacher, or what they feel is the most important issue facing high school theater today.

Selection is based on those submissions; financial need is not considered.
