Scholarships

The Washington University PAD is very pleased to announce that significant
financial aid in the form of Performing Arts Department scholarships for
this program are available. Students wishing to apply for scholarships can
obtain forms by contacting the PAD office: (314) 935-4795 or sending an
email to lizclaireparis@gmail.com. Scholarship applications should be turned
in at the same time as the regular application, and will be evaluated
separately from the application itself.

We encourage students from other universities and colleges to pursue scholarship options at their home institutions. Inform yourself as soon as possible of any upcoming deadlines, since summer study scholarships are often quite competitive.
