I work with a non-profit that fosters arts education in difficult places around the world. What advice do you have for students who want to pursue music and theater, but are coming from places with little to no access to teachers or support?

I’ve seen some incredibly talented students that have never had the opportunity for private lessons or even school programs. These kids are passionate, disciplined and often mostly self taught. But we’ve seen those same students not be accepted to programs like NYU.

I understand these decisions are incredibly difficult, I’m just wondering if there is anything we can help them with to increase their chances.

Thanks so much! We bring our students to a local university for a year and then help them apply to other schools and scholarships to continue their education. They have access to student advisors and counselors, but maybe it would help us to bring in a professional college counselor.

Our non-profit is is a tiny company and I don't want to dox myself so I'll send you a DM with more information. :)
