Joyce Schultheiss Memorial Scholarship

Believing that the quality of theatre in Michigan can be enhanced by supporting those
students pursuing a vocation or avocation in the arts at a Michigan institution of
higher learning, CTAM established a scholarship program in 1973

In 1980, it was renamed the Joyce Schultheiss Memorial Scholarship program and
dedicated in her memory. Schultheiss was a former CTAM president and
was instrumental in creating the original scholarship program.

Scholarships are awarded on the basis of an audition with academic
achievement and financial need being considered only in case of a tie

CTAM's scholarship program is open to both acting and technical applicants

To enter the scholarship competition, an applicant must
be sponsored by a current CTAM member group

Applicants must be a high school senior or college undergraduate who plans
to attend full-time a Michigan college or university with a major or minor in theatre

Applicants must provide certification of a GPA of 2.5 or better

Each year CTAM accepts up to 30 qualified audition applicants on a first come basis
