An Arts-Focused Nonprofit College Prep Program
There are no inherent limits to a young artist’s talent. But for people of color and other marginalized young adults, systemic social, political, economic, and environmental barriers can impede their performing arts dreams. The Theatre Gap Initiative (TGI) is an arts-focused nonprofit college prep program dedicated to breaking through these barriers and bridging the equity gap. Our program particularly supports BIPOC artists in navigating the process of applications, prescreens, auditions, and scholarships for Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) and conservatory programs.
Be Empowered in Your Performing and Fine Arts Journey
Don’t let financial challenges be a hindrance. There are scholarship opportunities available. We encourage all students interested in TGI to apply… Come grow with us!
Applying is free. We’ve partnered with Acceptd to simplify the process. The application deadline is now closed, applications will open February 14th,2026.
