Financial Aid
At The Theatre Lab, we believe that a quality theatre education should never be out of reach. That’s why we award more than $150,000 in scholarships and financial aid to students each year.
At The Theatre Lab, we believe that theatre education should be accessible to all. We strive to offer as much need-based financial aid as possible to ensure our programs are available to all those who need it. If attending our courses at full price would be difficult for you, we encourage you to apply for assistance by clicking the relevant link below.
