2016 Youth Scholarships Available

BATS School of Improv
Wednesday, March 23, 2016

BATS Improv and Fratelli Bologna are proud to announce five Budding Artist Scholarships for the 2016 BATS Summer Youth Program.

The Budding Artist Scholarships celebrates a tradition of service:

William Hall and Carla Hatley of Fratelli Bologna have established this scholarship in honor of their fathers, both named ‘Bud,’ in recognition of their work with youth and strong belief in the arts. 

The Budding Artist Scholarship offers young people who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to discover and experience improvisational theater by providing financial aid to participate in the BATS Summer Youth Program. 

Youth theater experience builds self-confidence and community:

Students learn to connect with people, expand their imaginations, build self-confidence, appreciate other’s ideas and be part of a community.

Five Full Tuition Scholarships Available:

One Budding Artist Scholarship is available for each of the five Youth Camps in 2016.  Each youth camp is a week-long immersion in the craft improvisation tailored for specific age-ranges.  Camps start on July 5, 12, 18 (two camps), and 25.  See the full Youth Camp schedule >>
