Acting & Musical Theater and Art & Design Applicants
Follow the general application procedures and submit an additional confidential letter of recommendation from an instructor familiar with your ability.

Art & Design Applicants Only: Submit a portfolio of five to ten photographs or slides of recent work. All samples should be labeled with the applicant's name and the date that the work was completed. Slides should be submitted in a plastic sleeve. Applicants must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope large enough to return the portfolio.

Deadlines
The postmark deadline for completed applications is May 15, 2006. Earlier applications are encouraged, because most programs have limited enrollment. All applications are processed in the order they are received. Late applications may be accepted for programs not filled. The postmark deadline for scholarship applications is April 15, 2006. Late applications will be considered for enrollment but not for scholarship.

Withdrawals initiated before June 14, 2006 are entitled to a 100% refund, with the exception of the $50 application processing fee.

Withdrawal notifications received between June 15, 2006 and July 1, 2006 will receive a 50% refund.

Withdrawals after July 2, 2006 are not eligible for refund.

Scholarships
A limited number of partial tuition scholarships are available. Scholarships are awarded on a combination of academic merit and financial need. Preference is given to students finishing their junior year.

Scholarship Application Procedures
1. Complete the financial aid section of the Application for Admission
2. Enclose a copy of the first page of parent or guardian's federal tax return for 2004.
3. Enclose, if you wish, a letter from the applicant indicating any special factors that should be considered in determining the need for financial assistance.

Payment Methods and Deadlines
Applicants must pay in full on or before June 15, 2006 to secure a place in the program. The student is guaranteed program placement only upon full payment of the program fee and the $75 damage deposit. Applicants are encouraged to complete payment well before the June 15th deadline as some programs fill up quickly. Please note that the letter of provisional acceptance to a specific program within Summer College may not be taken as a guarantee of program placement. Placement is only guaranteed after full payment. Guaranteed placements are made in the order in which full, final payments are received and verified by Summer College.
