Application Checklist

Complete the Application.
This includes a Personal Statement of no more than 250 words about your interest in Catholic University's High School Drama Institute.

Optional: Scholarship Application.
The High School Drama Institute has a limited number of partial scholarships for students who would not be able to attend the Institute at full cost.

To qualify for consideration for this aid, students need to complete the entire application first—submit the online application, the application fee, personal statement, and the scholarship application (if applicable). No scholarships will be offered until all application materials are received.

Acceptance into the High School Drama Institute

Admission will occur on a rolling basis once all application materials plus the non-refundable deposit have been received. The program will enroll no more than 24 students, so early submission of application materials increases the likelihood of acceptance.

Successful applicants will receive notification of admission within 2 weeks of the receipt of all materials.
