CURRENT TRAINING SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES:

APPRENTICE SCHOLARSHIP (2024)

In 2024, QSE is offering a scholarship covering the program fee for one Apprentice. The scholarship is intended to support an applicant from a background that has been traditionally excluded from classical theatre, whether on the basis of race/ethnicity, gender/sexual identity, disability, socio-economic status, or another factor. It is intended to make participation in our training accessible to someone for whom it otherwise would not be. Applicants for the Apprentice Program who wish to be considered for this scholarship should state how they believe they meet the criteria of a non-traditional or excluded group in their cover letter. Previous recipients of QSE scholarships have included Indigenous and justice-involved artists.

The value of the scholarship is $880 and there is no cash alternative.
