Acknowledgement

I understand that consideration for a Theatre Scholarship is contingent on my acceptance to Trinity University as a full-time student. I understand that Baker Duncan awards are renewable for up to eight semesters, excluding summer, as long as the recipient becomes and remains a minor or major in theatre and maintains full-time enrollment and good academic standing as indicated by a minimum 2.0 GPA. Recipients of Baker Duncan awards will be notified of their award in their financial aid packet, which is mailed in early April.
