NCTC's Education Fund awards two scholarships, the William Rackley Undergraduate Theatre Scholarship and the Constance Welsh Graduate Studies Scholarship. These scholarships are awarded in alternating years.

The scholarship is an unrestricted, one-time award of $3,000.00. Applications must be received by April 2. Click here for more guidelines and for the application.

Congratulations to Laura Levine, the recipient of the 2011 Rackley Scholarship! Laura is a theatre major at Appalachian State University.

"The arts mean so much to me, and I am thankful that NCTC recognizes the importance of the arts as a part of public education. This scholarship means a lot to me because it will allow me to pursue my dreams of finishing my Bachelor's and eventually studying drama and expressive arts therapies in graduate school. I then hope to travel abroad to share these skills with less-privileged individuals and communities. Thank you to NCTC and the scholarship committee for this honor!" - Laura Levine
