Acting Studio Chicago offers two scholarships per term to adult BIPOC performers who wish to continue their professional training with us.
In the past, ASC has offered informal scholarships to students. In the service of making our classes completely accessible to all, we’re excited to offer these same scholarships in a more formal manner to current or prospective students – from Chicago and beyond – who are interested in either our in-person or virtual classes. We are committed to inclusivity and realize the importance of accessibility, and this scholarship is intended to help remove any and all barriers to taking our classes.
Please review the information below for important dates, and to fill out the BIPOC Performers’ Scholarship application.
