Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Welcome! We're so glad that you're here.

​

At Meisner in Music, we are committed to fostering a more inclusive and vibrant artistic community, recognizing the need to uplift and empower talented individuals who may have faced barriers in accessing opportunities within the performing arts. Our Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Scholarship seeks to support artists from racial and ethnic backgrounds, gender identities, and/or with disabilities who have historically been excluded from Western music and theatre traditions.

*Disability Eligibility Criteria:

​​

To qualify for our scholarship as an artist with a disability, applicants must meet the U.S. Social Security Administration’s definition of disability. This includes individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodivergent conditions.

​​

The SSA specifies that a medical diagnosis by a qualified healthcare professional is essential, along with evidence of functional limitations that significantly impair daily living activities, communication, or social interactions.

​​

We encourage applicants to ensure they meet these criteria before applying as an artist with a disability.
