Ocala Civic Theatre Offering College Scholarships
Arts & Culture Home Page
Marion County students majoring in the performing arts are encouraged to apply.
Ocala Civic Theatre is proud to support the future of the performing arts through its scholarship program. Encouraging young talent to pursue the performing arts is a part of the Theatre’s mission.
In addition to producing shows which allow students to perform and hone their technical skills, we offer scholarships to Marion County residents planning to major in the performing arts at college.
Scholarships are awarded in the fields of Theatre Arts (Acting, Play Writing, Directing, Technical), Music (Voice), Music (Instrumental) and Dance. This is a competitive process in which students fill out an application, write an essay, offer references, attend an interview and present their talent in an audition. The award amount varies, but is a minimum of $500 per student. More than $85,500 has been awarded since the program (supported by Concession Stand sales, ACT IV and individual donations) was established in 1981.
Applications are now available and may be picked up at the Theatre.
To receive one by mail, call (352) 236-2274.
The forms are also available in the guidance office at area high schools.
The absolute deadline for submitting applications is Friday, April 23rd, at 5:30 p.m.
The audition/interview will be held on Saturday, May 15th.
