Technical Internship/Scholarship

 
Each year the Society offers a technical internship, along with a $1600 scholarship, to a Houston area college student of a Theater Management program.  That student spends June and July assisting the Artistic and Stage Directors with the Society’s summer production, gaining valuable experience in the workings and production of a large budget show. Eligible students include those from the Houston area, either attending school in Houston or elsewhere, and those from outside of the Houston area who are attending Houston area schools.  University students of technical theatre with at least two semesters remaining in their coursework are eligible, as well as graduating high school seniors.
 
The Society hopes that you will take the time to look through the materials provided, and that qualified students will apply by the postmark deadline of Friday, March 8, 2019.  Funding is for the 2019-2020 academic year, and monies will be paid directly to the university, half for the Fall term, and half for the Spring term.  All applicants must submit the provided application form, as well as all other required materials.  Late or incomplete applications and ineligible candidates will not be considered.  The recipient(s) will be notified by the end of April 2019.  All applicants will receive written notice of the results.
 
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions:  scholarships@hgns.org .

The Linder Fund

The Robert & Diana Linder Scholarship Fund was established not to provide for academic needs, but rather for the special needs of university-age/young professional singers, pianists, and conductors – the three disciplines most closely associated with the Society and our productions.  Money is granted by the Board of Directors on a discretionary basis and not tied to annual giving like other scholarship funds. Anticipated uses for funds include workshop or travel costs, competition entry fees, master classes, etc. The Linder Fund may be granted at any time during the year.  Please contact Dru Anne Lundquist, Scholarships Chair, for application information.
