Monmouth College Theatre Scholarship Information

Overview:

Scholarships are renewable for your time at Monmouth – you need not be a Theatre major/minor

to get a scholarship, and you are not required to take any theatre classes.

            Typically, scholarships will range from $1000-$3000 each year.
