2008 William E. Wilson Award presented to Eric Young

The Southeastern Theatre Conference welcomes applications for the William E. Wilson Scholarship. The award, named for longtime SETC member and patron William "Bill" Wilson, supports a secondary school teacher who is pursuing a graduate degree in theatre or speech and theatre.

Applicants must be legal residents of a state in the SETC region, and must have at least one year of experience as a full-time teacher and director of theatre in regionally accredited secondary school in the SETC region. The award recipient must enroll in a regionally accredited graduate program within one year of being selected for the scholarship.

The Wilson award is made possible by a $100,000 endowment given by its namesake in support of secondary school theatre educators across the southeast. It is a dream come true for contributor Wilson, and for many future recipients. The Southeastern Theatre Conference extends its heartfelt thanks to Wilson for his vision and support of secondary school theatre.

The application deadline of January 15, 2008 has now passed.
