2020 Performing Arts Scholarship Winners

Updated: Apr 14, 2020


For Thea’s 2020 Performing Arts Scholarship Competition, we received 140 video submissions from students across the state for consideration. Our competition is usually held in-person one Saturday in March, and we were deeply saddened to not be able to connect with all of the student competitors and their families. Our team is also very grateful to the students who adapted to this year’s competition change to online-only. After careful deliberation by this year’s judges, Thea Foundation has awarded ten scholarships to the following high school and homeschooled Arkansas seniors performing dance, dramatic works, or singing:


1st Place — $4,000 (Pictured above and below)
