About the Scholarship

Austin College awards up to $4,000 a year on talent rather than grades, and international applicants are reviewed for it alongside the college's general academic scholarship.

Unlike the college's music award, this one reads as an in-person audition and interview, which is a serious barrier for an applicant who has not yet obtained a visa. Ask whether a remote option exists.

Only one institutional award can be held in addition to the general academic scholarship, so this is the one to choose carefully. It applies to tuition only.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

Up to $4,000 a year for each recipient, with a limited number available. Institutional scholarships may only be applied to tuition, and a student may receive only one institutional award in addition to the general academic scholarship. The college states it cannot review applications for autumn entry from international students received after 1 March.

Eligibility

A live audition or portfolio presentation with an interview with theatre faculty in early spring of the final school year. No theatre major is required, and renewal needs an endorsement from the theatre department.

Eligible Countries

The college states it reviews all applicants for merit scholarship awards, while noting it follows a need-aware admission policy for international students and cannot offer them need-based aid. That statement covers merit awards generally rather than naming this one.

All countries

How to Apply

A separate application by 1 February, with notifications in mid-March. The college notes applications for autumn 2027 open in late spring.
