NFCT Scholarship Application__ 2024

NFCT will award one $500 scholarship to a graduating senior from each of the following schools: Riverhead High School, Mattituck High School, Southold High School, Greenport High School and Shelter Island High School. An additional scholarship will be awarded to include the expanding range of the NFCT community. Students not in one of the schools listed above may also apply.

Awards will be based upon the following criteria: talent, academics, essay, letter of recommendation and performance/participation history. Preference will be given to active NFCT members or participants, but this is not an absolute requirement. Applicants must have a history of either performance or off-stage experience (e.g.
lighting, crew, set design, etc.) either in high school or in local community organizations.

To be eligible for one of these scholarships, the following requirements must be met:
1. Complete the attached scholarship application cover sheet.
2. Provide an official copy of your high school transcript with your application.
3. Write an essay of no more than 250 words, telling about the meaning of performance or participation in theater/music activities in your life. Tell what your future plans will be: college or work, what you plan to major in if you will attend college, and some of your goals as a participant/performer.
4. Include your performance/participation resume.
5. Include a letter of recommendation from a person with knowledge of your performance/participation history, potential and commitment to the arts.
