We’re the University of South Alabama. Home to nearly 14,000 students and more than 125 academic programs, South is a dynamic community of leaders and learners who support and challenge one another to be actively engaged citizens who advance the Gulf Coast region and the world. Founded in 1963, South’s vision is to foster an environment that couples engaging learning experiences with high-level research, enabling our faculty and students to be leaders in their disciplines.
The USA Dept. of Theatre & Dance offers a limited number of scholarships and assistantships, each with their own criteria and requirements. The Laidlaw Trust provides funds for both acting scholarships and tech/design shop assistantships. Additionally, specialty awards also exist through endowed scholarships. To qualify, students must be a drama major, be a full-time student and maintain a 2.5 GPA. The total number of awards will vary, and the maximum dollar amounts will also differ (with some awards having the potential to cover up to full-tuition).
