Diversity Scholarship
The BCC Diversity Scholarship is dedicated to providing access for marginalized voices who are unable to afford a comedy class. No prior comedy/writing experience is needed to apply. All skill levels are welcome! BCC is dedicated to providing opportunities that welcome all students regardless of age, gender, race, sexual orientation, income level, etc.
Applicants may receive the diversity scholarship twice: once for a one-day workshop and once for a full-length class. Please re-apply both times.

Testimonials
“Really really glad a friend referred me to the BCC diversity scholarship this past year. With everything going on and being in quarantine these classes were something I looked forward to every week and really helped me stay grounded and have a creative outlet. I loved being able to work on my craft and acquire new skill sets and the class structure was so well organized. I had a blast and learned so much from both my teacher and classmates!”
“I think BCC’s diversity scholarship is a cool initiative. It stands to me as a community making an effort to amplify black actors, comedians, and writers in a space where it is difficult to breakthrough. Thanks for the insight BCC!”
“I really appreciated the class because I never took a standup class before. My friends always told me to do one because I perform a lot, but I was really nervous because of the “history of the environment “ per se. I’ve always wanted to find better ways to incorporate my comedy better in my other writing mediums and this class genuinely helped me, and also increased my confidence in doing so.
