Six Roaring Fork School District students were recognized as a finalist or recipient for a scholarship, recent RFSD news releases state.
Paige Northrup, a senior at Glenwood Springs High School, won a scholarship from the Dr. Jay Seller Scholarship Program and the Educational Theatre Association Scholarship Matching Program for $2,000, the release stated. Northrup had an excerpt in the press release where she said the audition was virtual and not only qualified her for the scholarship, but also helped her receive 26 callbacks and multiple college offers through schools who attended the Colorado Annual Thespian Conventions.
“I submitted a senior audition for Colorado’s Annual Thespian Convention. It included a short monologue and an excerpt from a song in one video…I qualified for and won the Musical Theatre scholarship because I am a senior, an inducted Thespian and declared theatre major,” Northrup wrote.
