Now more than ever before, it is vital to ensure that the USC School of Dramatic Arts (SDA) is providing students with growing access and opportunity to scholarship funding as they face challenging unprecedented times. With growing tuition and more graduate MFA programs becoming tuition-free, we are committed to dramatically increasing the number of students who receive financial support at SDA. With a larger scholarship fund, SDA will be more competitive in attracting and retaining the most talented and diverse storytellers from around the world. However, the impact of scholarship support goes far beyond helping a student offset the burden of student debt. It helps pave the way for the next generation of the most innovative artists to pursue their artistic dreams at USC unbridled. With sufficient scholarship assistance, you provide backing for deserving, gifted students to tell their unique and powerful stories as muti-hyphenate artists prepared to make a meaningful impact on an ever-evolving industry.
