The Keith P. Taylor Grants offer financial support to students participating in both English 491/591: Drama in Stratford and London and English 492/592: Drama in New York. Two awards will be made per course for students planning to enroll in the course. The awards cover the course fee, with additional funds toward airfare, meals, and other expenses. Students will be evaluated for the grants on the basis of: 1) academic achievement; 2) genuine interest in drama and a willingness to share your enthusiasm; and 3) financial need. Applicants for these grants should be persons for whom participation in a course of this type would be ordinarily out of the question. Grant winners will be expected to help recruit students and do organizational work for the class.
