FAUQUIER COMMUNITY THEATRE SCHOLARSHIP
APPLICATIONS EXTENDED DUE DATE: MAY 3, 2020 

Local Fauquier County High Schools have requested that the scholarship application deadlines from community partners be extended to May 1. Fauquier Community Theatre is glad to extend the due date for the submission of scholarship applications. Fauquier Community Theatre invites college-bound high school seniors with demonstrated abilities in the performing arts to apply for scholarships. The Scholarship Application for 2020 is due no later than May 3, 2020, however, submitting prior to the deadline is recommended.

Fauquier Community Theatre (FCT) offers financial scholarships for local high school seniors who desire to pursue further education in the theatre arts. With the help of an FCT scholarship, young aspiring actors, actresses, musicians, and theatre technicians are aided in deferring the cost of higher education as they seek to acquire further training. All applications are reviewed by a committee and will be scored using a rubric system. The college scholarship awards will be based on a rubric of scores that include grade point average, interest in a career in theatre, participation in Fauquier Community Theatre activities, other theater experience, short essay questions on the form, letters of recommendation, etc.

Scholarships can range from $500-$2500 per student. In the recent past, FCT has awarded several $2500 scholarships to multiple students each year. Criteria: A college-bound senior with demonstrated abilities in the performing arts. These scholarships will be paid directly to the recipient’s school of choice to cover tuition, books, fees, or room and board. Please complete the online form by clicking HERE
