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, starting in 2022 we have been offering these same scholarships in a more formal manner to current or prospective students. We are proud to continue our commitment to inclusivity and realize the importance of accessibility, and this scholarship is intended to help remove any and all barriers to taking our classes. We believe that a diverse student body, with diverse backgounds, enables everyone to learn deeper empathy and thus create greater art. Rachael Patterson ~ Studio Director
