DEI Theater Grant
The DEI Theater Grant is available to any Theater Arts major or minor, whose theater research addresses topics and themes of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Both scholarly and creative projects qualify.
Diversity and Inclusion: Distinct experiences and backgrounds (racial, ethnic, gender expression, gender identity, sexuality, economic, disability, religious, and social), enrich and enliven our conversations, scholarship, and creative expression. Through our curriculum, season planning, and the composition of our community, we strive to challenge discrimination, the marginalization of minorities, and the legacy of racism that has been inherent in the American theater tradition.
Fellowship Amount
Up to $600
Eligibility

Eligibility and DEI applicability will be determined by a faculty and staff application evaluation committee.
Evaluation Criteria
A committee of Theater Arts Faculty and Staff will review applications and award funds to projects which pertain to DEI themes and goals.
