Are You an Aspiring Actor? NBC Wants To Pay for Your Acting Classes

Date:

What if I told you that NBC will pay for your acting classes. That’s right – NBC has sponsored this year’s UCB Theatre Training Center in New York City.

From NBCU:

NBCU is offering scholarships for students to take classes at The UCB Theatre Training Center in NYC.  A live “Finalists Showcase” will take place in August at The UCB Theatre for 10 finalists selected by the Artistic Director of the UCB Theatre NY and NBCU. The 2018 Diversity Scholar will be selected by both UCBT and NBCU executives based on the performances at the showcase. 

The scholarship recipient must be located in or around New York City. The recipient will be responsible for their own transportation costs to and from New York City for classes. The recipient may use the scholarship towards any UCB Training Center class they are eligible for (based on availability).

WHO CAN APPLY?

According to the press release, the scholarship is looking to “celebrate voices that are underrepresented in professional comedy jobs. Unfortunately, that tends to be anyone who isn’t a straight white male in their 20s. So, we invite all performers, particularly women and people from diverse backgrounds less commonly seen on the comedy stages of NYC, who are currently house performers at an improv theater or have completed a core improv course at a recognized long-form improv theatre/school to apply. In other words, this scholarship is not for beginners, but for folks with some comedy experience already under their belt. ”

DEADLINE TO APPLY: July 6th, 11:59 PM EDT, 2017
