TMA Grants

TMA has been blessed with generous donors who love BYU students and want to support their creative endeavors and professional development. To assist with this, TMA provides its students with the following grant opportunities:

• Professional & Academic Development Grants (i.e. internships, Grad School Apps, conferences, workshops, etc.)
• Creative Projects Grants (see approved funded projects below)

When these grants are funded, the money is provided to students as a scholarship, which goes directly into student financial accounts. Any awarded amount applies first toward university financial holds, and then will automatically be deposited to a student’s financial account if all obligations have been met. Awards are non-transferable. Recipients must generally be registered for at least twelve credits per semester or six credits per term. Exceptions to this must be approved by the department’s executive committee. Award applicants must be enrolled, degree-seeking students either declared as a major or minor in Theatre and Media Arts (Acting and Theatre Education pre-majors may also apply) during the year for which they are applying. Note: BYU prohibits students from receiving scholarships for any amount more than two times the amount of tuition per semester.

Students will be required to write a thank you note to donors expressing their gratitude for scholarships to receive their grant funding.
