OU Theatre Competition 2026

The OU Theatre Scholarship is a four-year, full-tuition award that recognizes high school seniors who demonstrate a commitment to performing and understanding theatre. Candidates must be invited to and participate in the OU Theatre competition at Scholarship Weekend. Through their application materials, nominees will have indicated promise in the field of theatre and performance as well as the critical ability to tie these pursuits to disciplines such as literature and history.

In addition to the full-tuition award, OU Theatre Scholars have an opportunity to intern with a professional theatre company in Atlanta, as well as an invitation to enroll in an honors course during the first semester and eligibility for a research stipend for a senior Honors thesis. Continued dedication to theatre at Oglethorpe is expected, including a major or double-major in theatre. Up to two OU Theatre scholarships are awarded annually.
