Scholarships
Performing Arts Scholarship
The University of Dayton recognizes the talent of students who contribute to our performing arts community with Performing Arts Scholarships. Incoming full-time first-year, transfer and UD Sinclair Academy students who complete an audition by mid February are eligible for the award.
The award is renewable each year by remaining enrolled in a music or theatre, dance and performance technology program and participating in ensembles as assigned by the department.
Music, Theatre, Dance or Performing Arts Majors
Students admitted to a program in our music or theatre, dance and performance technology departments can receive a Performing Arts Scholarship worth $2,500 per year.
The Performing Arts Scholarship will automatically be included in your upfront financial aid offer. However, if you do not fulfill the audition requirement, you will receive a revised financial aid offer removing the scholarship.
Other Majors
Students enrolled in majors outside the music or theatre, dance and performance technology departments who audition and agree to participate in assigned ensembles can receive a scholarship worth $1,000 per year.
How to Apply for a Performing Arts Scholarship (All Students)
Students should file the FAFSA to be considered for all financial aid options.
