ATTN: Diversity Scholarship Applicants…
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!
Applications open SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1st for the 2020 Magnet Diversity Scholarships. An info session will be held on THURSDAY FEBRUARY 6th from 5PM-7PM at Magnet Theater, with a Q&A from 5PM-6PM and a Diversity Jam from 6PM-7PM.
Magnet Theater is pleased to announce that applications open on SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1st for the 2020 Magnet Diversity Scholarships. The goal of the scholarships is to create opportunities for people to study improv so that the Magnet population more accurately reflects the city we live in, both on stage and in the classroom.
Those selected will receive 6 classes that can be used towards Improv, Musical Improv and/or Sketch Writing (please note at this time, electives are not included with the scholarship). Due to the limited number of full scholarships and the expected number of applicants, applications will be competitive. We encourage applicants who were not awarded a scholarship last year to re-apply.
The Magnet Diversity Scholarship Program is aimed at increasing our diversity of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and age. Students of all experience levels are encouraged to apply as the scholarships are open to those who have never studied at Magnet, as well as to those who have partially completed the program. Up to $30,000 worth of scholarships will be awarded at the conclusion of the selection process.
Applications are now open and can be filled out by clicking here. The application includes general information, and some short essay questions.
