Improv Diversity Scholarship

Stranger than Fiction is committed to ensuring that individuals in historically underrepresented communities have an opportunity to learn improv, regardless of their financial situation. 

​

The recipient of this scholarship will receive free tuition to our upcoming Improv 101 course, which will be held on Saturday afternoons from 1-3pm, beginning on January 31, 2026, and concluding on March 7, 2026.*
 

​

Who should apply? 

Anyone who self-identifies a member of a community that is historically underrepresented in improv and comedy is welcome to apply, especially if they have a financial need that would prevent them from otherwise enrolling in a class. Underrepresented communities in improv often include, but are not limited, to:

• Historically marginalized groups

• Women and other gender minorities 

• Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC)

• Members of the LGBTQIA+ community

• People who have disabilities

• People in a less-represented age group compared to the typical student population (50+)

Deadline to Apply: Friday, January 23, 2026 by 11:59pm ET

*If, in the event this class is cancelled, the scholarship recipient will instead receive free tuition to another STF class of their choosing.
