Financial Aid and Scholarships

The University of North Texas Student Financial Aid and Scholarships Office provides assistance to qualified students who need financial help to pursue their education.

The Dance and Theatre Department annually awards current students competitive, merit-based scholarships. Scholarships awarded include:

• Ralph B. Culp Endowment Fund
• Ann Bradshaw Stokes Award (theatre)
• Gaylord-Hughes Scholarship (theatre)
• Tony and Linda Altermann Scholarship (theatre)
• The Ed Delatte Musical Theatre Scholarship
• Lucille Murchison Scholarships in dance, costuming and technical theatre
• Chun Hui Lee Dance Scholarship
• Eugene Mills Dance Scholarship

Continuing Theatre Majors may apply for scholarships through the department Theatre Scholarship Application and find the application due dates each year.  Requirements include a cumulative 3.25 GPA, full-time status, enrolled in at least six theatre credit hours, official transcripts of universities and colleges attended, letters of purpose, and three faculty endorsements (signatures on the application form).

Current Dance Majors can apply each Spring semester for the Dance and Theatre Department's dance scholarship.  Applicants must be classified as a dance major at the University of North Texas and agree to remain in the dance major program for the entire academic year and participate in the activities and performances of the Department of Dance and Theatre.  The Dance Scholarship Application and application due dates can be downloaded or picked up at the Dance and Theatre Office in the Radio, Television, Film, and Performing Arts Building (RTFP) room 242 or Stovall Hall room 180.

Student Employment Services provides employment opportunities for currently enrolled students in an effort to help them offset their college expenses and develop a good work record. Students do not have to qualify for financial aid to apply for these positions.
