Scholarships

Scholarships and grants can go a long way to help cover educational expenses, and best of all they are awards that do not have to be repaid. PBA offers a variety of merit-based scholarships for academic excellence and talent in athletics, dance, music and theatre.

Scholarships Available

Performing Arts Studies

Dance
You can use your dance audition to be considered for dance scholarships. These scholarships are available to a select number of highly talented and promising students each year. Your letter of acceptance as a dance major will tell you if your audition qualified you to be considered for dance scholarship.
Students who accept these grants-in-aid must declare and remain a major in the Department of Dance during the period of the grant, and maintain a 3.0 grade point average in all dance courses attempted at PBA. PBA dance grade point averages below 3.0 will result in a reduction in dance scholarships. Scholarship recipients also are required to audition for Dance Ensemble every semester and participate fully if selected.

Music
We offer music scholarships in varied amounts to a select number of highly talented and promising students each year. These scholarships are available through a competitive process that includes an interview and an audition with the music faculty of PBA. Students who accept these grants-in-aid must normally declare a major in music during the period of the grant and maintain a 2.75 grade point average in all music courses attempted at PBA. Music grade point averages below 2.75 will result in a reduction in music scholarships.
Scholarship recipients will be required to participate in at least two appropriate ensembles each semester. In addition, applied keyboard students often will be given accompaniment duties. More specific guidelines for maintaining scholarships are available from the Dean’s Office.

Cinema & Media Studies

Cinema Arts Scholarship
Our program provides students first-class training from a Christian perspective to communicate messages through motion pictures and television. Given the enormous power of mass media to define public debate, impact cultural and social change, and influence personal behavior, our vision seeks to empower aspiring Christian media professionals to make a positive contribution to society through entertainment. Major areas of study equip Cinema Arts students to communicate pro-social or redemptive messages. This preparation will allow graduates to pursue careers in television and film, as well as in audio-visual production for corporate, governmental, church and parachurch organizations. We are committed to making the PBA experience affordable for you.
