The O'Neill endeavors to ensure access for all students seeking the NTI experience. To that end, scholarships and consortium agreements are available to NTI students. FINANCIAL AID The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center endeavors to ensure access and opportunity for students regardless of economic circumstance. While not eligible to process federal funds (ie. Pell Grants, Stafford loans, etc.), whenever possible the O'Neill works with student's home institutions to facilitate the transfer of federal financial aid, institutional aid, and loans through forming consortium agreements. Thanks to the support of generous donors, the O'Neill also awards need-based scholarships to students through an application process. The process of funding study at our institution is different for every student and we encourage all applicants to discuss their intentions to study away with their families and schools prior to beginning the application process. NOTES ON FUNDING YOUR PROGRAM Begin planning early. Early applications may meet priority deadlines and are eligible to receive extended payment plans. For more information about payment plans, click HERE . Your semester can be treated as study abroad, off-campus study, an internship, or a leave of absence. Check with your school to see which option is best for you. Work with your school's financial aid office to determine what aid will travel from your home institution. Complete and return any consortium agreements and paperwork required for aid transfer. Consider asking family and friends to donate with a crowd-sourcing campaign through a platform such as GoFundMe. If you are taking a personal loan, educational loans from local banks and credit unions are usually the best option as our institution is not considered a Title IX eligible degree-granting institution by national lenders. Complete your scholarship application on time for best consideration to receive funds. CONSORTIUM AGREEMENTS Students are often able to fund their program through the transfer of institutional and/or federal aid through their home school via a Consortium Agreement with their undergraduate institution. Under a consortium agreement, students do not pay the program fee charged by the O'Neill, but pay their home school tuition instead. The home school pays the approved program provider the direct cost of education (program fee) and each student is responsible for paying any additional costs (application fees, books, etc.) directly to the O'Neill. To find out if your school has an existing Consortium Agreement or to set one up, please contact our admissions team at ntirep@theoneill.org . Twelve-College Exchange We are a member of the Twelve-College Exchange, a cooperative program for residential student exchange including the following colleges: Amherst, Bowdoin, Connecticut College, Dartmouth, Mount Holyoke, Smith, Trinity, Vassar, Wellesley, Wesleyan, Wheaton, and Williams. In lieu of a separate consortium agreement, students attending these institutions should complete a Twelve-College Exchange application with their school to facilitate the transfer of finances and credits. SCHOLARSHIPS The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center has made a profound commitment to raising funds for need-based scholarships, enabling more students to attend educational programs. We thank the individuals and institutions that have made investment in scholarships, as they are critical in training an emerging and more diverse generation of artists. Please note, the scholarship funds are limited by the amounts that are in the O’Neill endowment and contributed annually by foundations and donors. It is our aim to award funds equitably and to maximize the diversity and talents of each cohort. Unfortunately, this often means that scholarship funds are not sufficient for every potential student to afford the tuition, even at a much-reduced rate. On your initial application, you will be asked if you intend to apply for scholarships. If the answer is yes, upon receipt of your application, we will provide you with a separate scholarship application. This will allow you to be considered for all available scholarship funds. Please note, the Miranda Family Fellowship requires an additional application. Available Scholarships Eugene O’Neill Theater Center Scholarship : For over 50 years, thousands of new artists have been nurtured, discovered, and developed at the O’Neill. This scholarship helps to provide students with the opportunity for a semester of study where careers are launched every year. The Eugene O’Neill Center Scholarship directly supports students to ensure that critical aid is received by those who need it most. Hendel Family Foundation Scholarship John Gore Scholarship : Through its family of companies, the John Gore Organization is committed to supporting the theater industry and our communities in a variety of ways. From the John Gore Foundation, which grants funding for theater education programs, to providing underserved communities access to Broadway, to supporting local social service agencies through food and clothing drives, JGO is dedicated to keeping performing arts centers throughout North America thriving and contributing to their local communities. Miranda Family Scholarship : The Miranda Family Fellowship Program is dedicated to fostering a more inclusive entertainment industry by identifying, cultivating, and launching the careers of diverse talent. The Fellowship achieves this by providing scholarships, professional training, and mentorship opportunities to emerging, underrepresented artists and arts administrators who lack access to the “traditional” entry points to the entertainment industry, empowering them to amplify their stories and advocate for new voices in theater and TV/film. Multi-discipline creative artist Lin-Manuel Miranda's first professional production was with the O'Neill's National Music Theater Conference in 2005, In The Heights. “Underrepresented” individuals include a first-generation college student, a woman or gender expansive person, part of the LGBTQIA+ communities, a person with disabilities, someone with an underrepresented racial and ethnic background, or a person whose background and experiences would diversify the entertainment field. “Traditional” entry points to the entertainment industry include graduating from top-tier schools, parents’/family’s networks in powerful positions in the business, and ample funding for their own projects. Ron Cowen & Daniel Lipman Scholarship : Ron Cowen & Daniel Lipman, writers of groundbreaking film An Early Frost and the iconic television shows Queer as Folk and Sisters , were playwrights in the formative years of the National Playwrights Conference. This scholarship is awarded to talented students with varying financial needs in one of the following divisions of the National Theater Institute: NTI Semester Playwriting Focus NTI Semester Music Theater Focus National Music Theater Institute NTI Theatermakers Summer Intensive Playwriting Focus Scholarship Appeal If the scholarship funds offered to you by the O'Neill are insufficient and other sources of funding are unavailable to you, you may appeal your scholarship award by contacting our admissions team at ntirep@theoneill.org . Any additional scholarship funds awarded, upon appeal, would be the result of scholarships not accepted by another potential student. Therefore, this process will lead to a waiting period. We are unable to assess final aid until all applications are completed and returned by the final application deadline. In your written appeal, please supply information regarding your current financial situation and outlook. It is most useful in these cases to understand what you estimate you could pay prior to matriculation, your total projected monthly income, and your estimate of the monthly amount you could afford to pay in tuition (perhaps over a longer period of time). Our team will consider that information as we accept and enroll the remainder of the class.

NTI provides credit-earning training across multiple theatrical disciplines that serves as enrichment for gap-year, undergraduate, and postgraduate students. Founded in 1970, the O'Neill's National Theater Institute provides credit-earning training across multiple theatrical disciplines.

The training environment is a simulacrum to a professional schedule, allowing students to build habits and discover the ways in which they work best.

It is a time of exploration and self-discovery.

The O'Neill's Waterford, CT, campus overlooking the Long Island Sound has been a space of artistic exploration for some of the greatest theatrical luminaries. OUR CAMPUS The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center’s Waterford, Connecticut campus is a collection of renovated 19th-century mansions, farmhouses, and barns overlooking the Long Island Sound. For over 60 years, the O'Neill has been a space of artistic exploration for some of the greatest theatrical luminaries, including August Wilson, Jeanine Tesori, Lin-Manuel Miranda, John Patrick Shanley, Celine Song, Michael R. Jackson, Tom Kitt, Sam Hunter, David Lindsay-Abaire, and so many more. The historic campus boasts two indoor and two outdoor performance venues, two libraries, administrative offices, a cafeteria, and residences for students, staff, faculty, and artists. In 2014, the O’Neill completed a multimillion-dollar expansion that created new dormitory cottages, laundry facilities, dance studios, rehearsal rooms, and a state-of-the-art composition classroom. As a student, the O'Neill campus become your canvas and a space for creative risk-taking. You’ll stage scenes in traditional performance venues as well as unique spaces such as Blue Gene’s Pub and the living room of Aida & Nelson White House. You’ll have some rehearsal time in the Lloyd Richards Production Cottage practice rooms and then head over to pick up a new script from the Liebling-Wood Library. Then, you’ll talk over your next assignment while grabbing a snack from the Hammond Mansion cafeteria before using the iMacs in the Viertel Composition Studio to write a new song. During free time, you can relax on Waterford Town Beach, which lies just behind the campus and is reachable by a short walk through the field, or socialize with friends in one of the indoor or outdoor common spaces. To study at the O’Neill is to create theater on equal footing with the hundreds who have called this campus home. We can’t wait to welcome you!
