Theatre Arts Auditions & Scholarships at Catawba College

How To Audition for a Theatre Arts Scholarship Or One Of Our BFA Tracks:

Students wishing to be part of our BA in Theatre Arts do not need to audition for the program.

However, if you would like to:

  • Be considered for a Theatre Arts Scholarship
  • Be considered for pre-approval for one of our BFA tracks

Please take the following steps:

  1. Use Acceptd to submit pre-screening digital portfolios/audition materials.
  2. Apply to Catawba
  3. Look out for possible invitations to our Theatre Arts Hobgood Scholarship Competition, or other college-wide scholarship days.
  4. Visit campus The best way to see if we are a “good fit” for you is to see campus and talk with faculty and students. Scholarship competitions take place in-person. However, we recognize that sometimes this can prove a hardship. If this is the case, please let us know.
