New Student Talent Scholarships
- Every year, the Theatre Program interviews and auditions
prospective new students from within Indiana who plan to major in
Theatre. The faculty has the discretion to award new students four
year renewable tuition-specific scholarships if the
faculty feels that the student has the talent to merit this support.
Although the academic requirement is not as rigorous as other
scholarships (students need a high school GPA of 2.5 minimum according
to the official calculations of the Admissions Office) students must
give strong indications that they are capable of doing college level
work. Various appointments are available to students who can contact
the Director of Theatre, Elliot Wasserman, to find out more and to
prepare.
- Students who process applications earlier than March 1 and who
have higher GPAs and are in the top 25% of their graduating class may
be eligible for academic based departmental scholarships. These
students should contact Eric Otto, at the Office of Admissions.

Kentucky students of selected counties
eligible for scholarships
High-achieving students from selected Kentucky counties now have an
opportunity to be considered for a departmental scholarship at the
University of Southern Indiana. Students who are residents of Daviess,
Hancock, Henderson, and Union counties have access to the same scholarship
program that has drawn record numbers of Indiana’s best students to the
campus.
Scholarship recipients from the four-county area will continue to
benefit from the reciprocity program which allows them to attend USI while
paying in-state tuition and fees.
The scholarship program is the Departmental Scholarship and it is a
four-year renewable award available to high school seniors who are in the
top 25 percent of their class, and also on track to complete the
pre-college curriculum, or ranked in the top 10 percent while earning a
grade point average of at least 3.6 on a 4.0 scale in math, English,
science, and social studies.
Award amounts are variable, based upon academic class standing, high
school grade point average, and scores on either the ACT or SAT.
Academically qualified students who apply to
USI by March 1
will automatically receive the departmental scholarship.
Students from reciprocity counties who excel in sports, theatre, music,
art, and creative writing also may be eligible for
competitive scholarships.
Other awards are available through the USI Foundation to recognize
individuals on the basis of community service, area of study, or county of
residence, in addition to academic achievement.
