Black Theatre Coalition Announces Partnership With Cody Reynard Richard Scholarship

The Broadway Advocacy Coalition ("BAC") has established a scholarship program alongside Cody Renard Richard for college, and graduate school students of color pursuing degrees in any offstage theatrical related field. Over the last four years, the program has accepted 45 students and awarded $340,000 amongst them. Much like previous years, the fifth cycle of The CRR Scholarship Program will award 10 recipients a financial grant and will offer the cohort various online work sessions connected to leadership, community building, and mentorship. This cycle will conclude with an all-expenses paid trip to New York City to meet with mentors, attend panels with leading industry professionals and interact with the Broadway scene in person. The recipients for this scholarship are Black, Latin, Asian or Indigenous American citizen students in financial need studying non-performance related theater studies, particularly with a focus in stage management, directing, writing, designing, producing, or other administrative fields. Applications are now open through Sun Nov 24, 2024. Applicants will be selected and informed by January 2025. Eligible applicants will need to submit a one-minute video essay describing why they are the ideal candidate for the program, along with their current transcript and two letters of recommendation.
