The Philadelphia School of Improv (PSI) is seeking to diversify our classes to provide access to those who are interested in learning and performing, to better reflect the larger Philadelphia community on our stage, and to bring new and diverse voices to our theater community. PSI has a limited number of full scholarships available. The historically marginalized groups that we are seeking include:
people of color
people in the LGBTQIA community
women, people who are gender non-conforming, and people who identify outside the gender binary
people with physical, emotional, or cognitive disabilities
Improv classes
Applicants who are selected will receive tuition for a full semester of Improv Classes!

100 Black Improvisers
PSI is proud to be a part of the 100 Black Improvisers Partnership. Working with the Black Improv Alliance, we pledge to provide a minimum of five scholarships for Black students. Together with other partner organizations, we have a common goal of getting 100 more Black people into Improv 101 by July 2021.
If you would like to apply, please click here and under “How Did You Hear About Us?” add “100 Black Improvisers.”
Camp ComedySportz
Applicants who are selected will receive tuition for a Camp ComedySportz 2020! Camp ComedySportz will be held July 6-10, 2020 from 10:00am-3:00pm.
It is very important that the campers be the ones to fill out the application. Parents and Guardians can certainly assist, but we want to hear from the children why they want to be part of Camp ComedySportz.
Please submit the application by June 22, 2020. Results will be communicated June 29, 2020. The number of scholarships may vary by year and will be offered based on availability. For more information, visit our Camp page or contact our Education Director.
