Theater Alum Wins Scholarship

Alicia Austin and Prince Albert II of Monaco at the Princess Grace Awards

Alicia Austin and Prince Albert II of Monaco at the Princess Grace Awards  (Jerry Lacay, Princess Grace Foundation)

At New York’s Plaza hotel last November, Leslie Odom Jr. of Hamilton fame announced the six winners of the coveted Princess Grace Award in theater. Among them was Alicia Austin ’16.

The scholarship will support Austin’s final year of graduate theater design studies at the Yale School of Drama. Yale nominated Austin for the honor, which provides professional support throughout the recipient’s career. The dozens of past recipients include actor and singer Odom, playwright Tony Kushner, Tony-award-winning theater director Anna D. Shapiro, and film director Jon M. Chu.

The Princess Grace Foundation-USA identifies and assists emerging artists by awarding scholarships, apprenticeships, and fellowships.
