WEBSTER CITY COMMUNITY THEATRE’S
BRUCE ALAN YUNGCLAS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Webster City Community Theatre annually presents a $250 scholarship to a graduate or graduating senior from a Hamilton County school. This scholarship is given in memory of Bruce Alan Yungclas, a long-time member of Webster City Community Theatre who was active on stage, behind the scenes and made every audience the best.
The applicant must have been active in the theatre arts in his or her school or community. The scholarship is non-cumulative, in that if the scholarship is not awarded in any given year, the same $250 scholarship amount will be offered the next year.
Webster City Community Theatre is an organization of theater amateurs who desire to bring the residents of this community in contact with theatre and enjoy being a part of the theater world. We offer financial assistance to students who have participated in the theater arts and who may be interested in receiving further education in that field. However, a theater arts major is not required to qualify for the scholarship.
A review board of Webster City Community Theatre will consider all complete applications submitted. The selection of the scholarship recipient is left entirely to this board. The review board’s final decision will be announced in an appropriate manner, such as the awards assembly at the end of the school year.
The review board’s decision is based on the following criteria:
· The applicant must be a resident of a school district serving Hamilton County (or a neighboring county if active in past Webster City Community Theatre productions). He or she must be a graduate of or have met the graduation requirements of that school district.
· The applicant must be enrolled in an accredited two- or four-year college.
· The applicant must have a “C” average or better upon graduation from his or her school district.
· The applicant must list the names, titles and addresses of three references i.e. teachers, directors or theater members. Be sure to have your references send letters of recommendation to the address below or include them with this application.
· The applicant must submit a list of participation in and/or accomplishments in theater-related activities.
· Completed applications must be received by Webster City Community Theatre, P.O. Box 272, Webster City, IA 50595 no later than May 8, 2008.
This application is also available on-line at www.wcctonline.org. All applications must be mailed to:
