University of Mary Washington (out-of-state)

Preference is given to students pursuing a major or concentration in theater, although other deserving students are not precluded from receiving the scholarship. Recipients must maintain a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0. The average annual award budget is $3,500. Individual scholarship award amounts may vary. This scholarship was established by friends and colleagues in 1971 to honor the memory of Dr. Albert R. Klein, chair of the former department of dramatic arts and speech (now known as the Department of Theatre and Dance). From 1952 until his death in 1970, Dr. Klein set high standards for dramatic productions at Mary Washington and led the way in introducing the newest theatrical developments. The theatre in duPont Hall is named in his memory. This is a condensed description and does not include detailed criteria and requirements.
