Frank Prentice Rand Scholarship in Drama

The Frank Prentice Rand Scholarship in Drama is funded by the generous bequest of the late Margarita H. Rand and honors Professor Frank Prentice Rand, who taught dramatic literature at UMass in the English Department. The Rand Theater is named for him because he and Mrs. Rand loved theater and promoted the founding of the department. This scholarship recognizes undergraduate theater majors of exceptional scholarship and outstanding achievement in the areas of directing, producing, playwriting, and dramaturgy. The award amount varies.
