The University of La Verne offers 12 full-tuition scholarships in six areas of performance: art, communications, music, photography, speech and theater.
University administrators have provided reasonable assurance that performance scholarships will be preserved, despite rumors that the awards would be phased out or even cut from next year’s budget due to the institution’s growing budget deficit.
I am somewhat amazed at the amount of response generated by the issue of arts funding. I am simply glad this issue is getting press and it is encouraging to see that the Campus Times is so willing to address the matter.
I am writing to you because I am compelled to voice my concern at the possibility of the elimination of the music scholarship at the University of La Verne.
As a third year theater major I have to completely disagree with last week’s letter from Jacob Leveton regarding the theater department’s place at ULV.
