I want to be a part of this program, what do I do next?

The are quite a few steps to becoming enrolled at Bethel College and we want to help you get through those as quickly as possible. Hopefully, this list will help you navigate through those steps and help you see the process!

1. FILL OUT THE FAFSA! This is EXTREMELY important as it determines your eligibility for many federal and state grants and other funds. Fill it out immediately if you haven't yet. Go online to www.fafsa.ed.gov and get that done ASAP. Also, make sure you include Bethel College in Tennessee on your FAFSA so the report comes directly to us.
   
2. APPLY FOR ADMISSION TO BETHEL COLLEGE! This is an obvious step, but one that needs to be done before an audition can be set up. CLICK HERE to go to the admissions page and see the requirements and apply online.
3. SEND IN YOUR TRANSCRIPTS AND ACT SCORES! Make sure to contact your guidance counselor and have them send your official high school transcripts to the Office of Admissions at Bethel. Also, an official ACT score must be reported for you to be accepted. Make sure you send your scores to Bethel as well. ****IMPORTANT***** If you have already sent your ACT scores to us and re-take the test to get a better score, YOU MUST CONTACT THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE AND HAVE THEM RE-EVALUATE YOUR FILE! Make sure to contact us if you increase your score! Academic scholarship money is affected by that score and it will not change automatically. You have to re-report your new scores.
   
4. AUDITION FOR RENAISSANCE! See the posts below for audition requirements. All potential Renaissance students MUST audition to be eligible for the Renaissance scholarship.
   
5. IMMUNIZATION RECORDS, FEES, ETC! There are some other documents and fees that must be taken care of in order to gain admission to Bethel. Contact the admissions office for a complete list.
   
6. REGISTER! Once all that is complete and you have accepted your financial aid package that will be mailed to you, the final step is to register! Registration dates for the fall are listed on Bethel's Website.
   
7. ATTEND RENAISSANCE PERFORMING ARTS CAMP! Performing arts camp begins 2 weeks before the start of the fall semester. During this time, you will be in rehearsals and workshops and be preparing for a years worth of shows! It's a great experience and will provide us with a great start for a year full of theatre!

This looks like a lot, but we would be glad to help you with whatever step you need help with. Call our Renaissance Office or the Admission Office for more information!

SUMMER AUDITIONS FOR RENAISSANCE THEATRE

If you are a high school junior or senior and you are interested in auditioning for Renaissance Theatre this summer, you're in luck!!!

If you will call the Renaissance Office at 731-352-6414, you can set up an audition date any time over the summer.

For those of you that are finishing your senior year, the earlier you audition the better for you. That way we can complete your financial aid package and get materials out to you sooner. You can also check out the Bethel College website at www.bethel-college.edu and get more information there.

AUDITION REQUIREMENTS:

• A 1-2 minute monologue of your choice. Pick a monologue that best shows your acting ability.
• (For those interested in musical theatre) Be prepared to sing a song of some kind. If you can prepare one, that would be best. If not, you will be asked to sing a little bit of a song that you know so that we can get an idea of your voice part and vocal experience.

If you have any questions, please call! We'll be glad to help.
