Financial Aid | College Scholarship Options For Future Actors
If acting is in your blood, then perhaps you can use such skill in getting yourself a college degree. There are several acting schools in the United States that offer academic grants, financial aid, and even reduced college tuition costs. But be wary though, almost everyone wants to be a star, so the competition will be quite tight.
For entering college freshmen, the Donna Reed Performing Arts Scholarship is one of prestigious scholarships given to aspiring actors. Awarded to US residents, this program is given to students who enroll in the following courses – Acting, Musical Theatre, Vocal, Instrumental, and Dance. If you want to apply, you have to submit an audiotape, videotape, or CD featuring your performance.
Another scholarship created for aspiring theater and film actors is the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship. There are nineteen regional awards and two fellowship awards to be given annually. Aside from auditioning, applicants also need to be nominated before their application can be considered.
If you are looking forward to studying theatre arts at the Alma College in Alma, MI, then you have two options to consider. The Performance Scholarships is given to students who have shown great flair for art and design, dance, vocal or instrumental music, or theatre. The Distinguished Performance Scholarships is a tad better than the other one and has more perks. Both scholarships are awarded based on auditions and portfolio submissions.
The School For Film and Television in New York City also offers two scholarships for acting majors – the Sanford Meisner Merit award and the Mary Doyle Memorial Scholarship. The former is awarded based on the merit of the applicant’s audition while the latter is based on the applicant’s financial need. Recipients may reapply if they are able to make the minimum GPA requirement of 2.5.

Thanks Steven, I was a UC professor and student, and I know the burden of the “financial aid.” I came out of UCLA with quite a bit of loan debt.
I don't think this fee increase is going to improve financial aid. However, a different fee increase that increased the top end tuition even more while increasing financial aid (actual aid-meaning grants) could lessen the effect these tuition increases on lower income households.
So I agree with everybody-more financial aid !- but the actual way that can be done is pushing for even higher tuition and insisting that the increase be directed towards grants etc. The only other way to get more financial aid is to increase taxes in the State (which would be great if they are progressive taxes). And that seems even less politically likely than getting the Regents on board with a plan.

I work for Children's Administration in the U.S., providing financial aid for college to former foster youth. Two of the youth on my caseload had mental health breakdowns and had to be hospitalized last quarter. They had to withdraw from school, lose their financial aid and find someone to live with while they recovered. There are no breaks for those with mental health issues.

So glad you're talking about education. I'm a college student and used to go to Hofstra, tuition is out of control and there is a lack of merit based financial aid. At Hofstra I paid $45,000 for one year, I received no financial aid despite my 3.8 GPA as well as loads of extra-curriculars. I hope President Obama will encourage an increase in merit based financial aid
