Recipients of this scholarship are those who can provide evidence of a high level of academic achievement, strong community engagement and demonstrated school leadership throughout their high school years. The scholarship provides financial aid to attend a two- or four-year accredited, not-for-profit postsecondary institution of the student’s choice. Recipients attending a two-year community college will receive $5,000 in two payments ($2,500 per semester), while those attending a four-year institution will receive $10,000 in two payments ($5,000 per semester). ETS will award a maximum of $30,000 in scholarships per academic year. The scholarship is renewable each year until graduation if the recipient maintains a 3.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA) by the end of the academic year and has no disciplinary infractions. It will be renewed for two or four consecutive years only — scholarship recipients are expected to graduate in two years if attending a two-year institution or in four years if attending a four-year institution.

We had eight students enter and spread across three entries: short film, costume construction, and chapter select (one-act play). The winners were announced Monday morning, and the following students were amongst those listed:
Cristal Castillo (our International Thespian Society president) came in second place for best actress for her role as the Caretaker in Twisted Tales of Poe Dallina Garro-Montanez (our International Thespian Society secretary) won for costume construction making her eligible for the International Thespian Festival in June and earning her a NJ Governor's Award for Arts Education, which will be presented at the end of May.
