Thanks to a grant from the Heinz Endowments, HAT Co members receive merit-based scholarships for
additional training in one area of concentration. These scholarships are limited, so please make sure
that you are able to make a yearlong commitment.

HAT Co members are required to take Musical Theater (fall, spring and showcase rehearsal/performance
terms) and Shakespeare (winter term). Need-based scholarships will be given to those students who
provide documentation of financial need (i.e. verification of school lunch program eligibility). Students who
do not have this documentation are responsible to pay tuition for Musical Theater and Shakespeare.
