Screen Producers Ireland (SPI) and Gaiety School of Acting are proud to announce its partner scholarship aimed at providing financial support for students pursuing a career in acting at the renowned Gaiety School of Acting. The scholarship will cover the equivalent of full student fees for an individual accepted onto the prestigious Two Year Actor Training Programme enabling aspiring actors to pursue their passion without the barrier of financial constraints.

As part of its ongoing commitment to fostering inclusivity and diversity within the screen production sector, SPI is supporting this initiative to ensure that aspiring actors from underrepresented backgrounds have the opportunity to receive world-class training at Ireland’s premier drama school. The SPI scholarship is designed to eliminate financial barriers, enabling students who have been historically marginalised or lack the necessary resources to follow their passion for acting. This initiative reflects both organisations’ commitment to creating a more inclusive, equitable, and representative environment within the screen and performing arts sectors.

“Screen Producers Ireland is delighted to begin our partnership with the Gaiety School of Acting
through this scholarship,” said Susan Kirby, CEO of Screen Producers Ireland, “Empowering new voices is essential for a truly inclusive and representative screen industry. This scholarship represents one facet of SPI’s sustained commitment to fostering diversity within the industry and we look forward to seeing this come to life.”

This scholarship is being made available for one recipient within our Two Year Full Time Actor Training Programme. For more information on how to apply for the Screen Producers Ireland scholarship contact coordinator@gaietyschool.com
