Cody Renard Richard Scholarship Program

Education, Financial Assistance & Community Building:

The Cody Renard Richard Scholarship Program (CRR) encourages more Black, Asian, Latinx, Indigenous, and other students of color to pursue degrees in the theatrical management and non-performance artistic fields, such as Stage Management, Technical Theatre, Theatre Design, Playwriting, Directing or Theatre Management. The CRR Scholarship Program helps students reach their full artistic, academic and leadership potential by providing them: (1) a direct financial contribution to help ease the burden of the many costs of attending higher educational learning institutions, such as tuition, housing, textbooks and class fees. (2) a community of other young leaders to learn from and connect with; and (3) a series of workshops to build the knowledge, relationships and confidence to chart their own path in the industry. In the 4th year of the program, selected recipients will receive a scholarship for the Spring 2024 semester. Students will also receive an all expenses paid trip to New York City to meet with mentors and experience and learn about Broadway and New York’s theater scene in person during the summer of 2024.
