“This scholarship allows me to attend the school of my dreams while pursuing an interest that I hope to turn into a viable career.I am currently involved in Culver’s theatre program, where I will be taking part in two shows. For two hours following the end of each academic day, I spend time in Eppley Auditorium familiarizing myself with the craft, the space, and the people around me who share this same passion for the performing arts.”A.J.
