Our long-term goal is to make arts education accessible to everyone in the greater green bay area. We want our community to embrace and support the arts. We believe This starts with our youths' ability to experience it and their appreciation of it.
Whether a child wants to be a Broadway actor or a nurse, we believe scholarships for the performing arts enable students to explore their creativity, gain self-esteem and further their educational development. Without these scholarships, many students would not be able to participate in classes. We want to enrich their lives and the community.
We offer two types of scholarships, Need Based & Talent Based.
*Birder Studio will contact applicants to schedule an audition.

Student Testimonials
Alina Kiedinger
"I have had the opportunity to be involved in Birder Studio classes for about 10 years. In those past years I have received 2-3 scholarships and they have helped my family and I tremendously. Since my two sisters and I are always involved in the studio somehow, scholarships have helped us in being involved in more classes and productions. Thanks to the scholarships, I’ve had the opportunity to have more acting experiences and I couldn’t be thankful enough!!"
