First student revolving loan fund for actor training
The Möbius Fund is a unique, dedicated initiative to provide support for financially in-need actor students at Intercultural Theatre Institute (ITI).
Our talented students are selected only after rigorous auditions and interviews, however, many of them face challenges affording fees and living expenses in Singapore – the most expensive city to live in globally*.
Students from developing economies, those already working as actors or others running their own nonprofit theatre companies, are particularly hard-pressed financially. Many, whether from Singapore or overseas, depend heavily on scholarships, bursaries and loans to be able to see through their 3-year, full-time training at ITI. The challenge is especially hard, given that it is near impossible for most of them to secure a bank loan for such specialised training.
The aim of the Möbius Fund is to ensure that talented young actors can avail themselves of ITI’s training without being barred by their financial challenges.
Your donation will help a student to complete their training and go on to make theatre that is meaningful for their community.
Acting as a revolving fund, repayments by graduates will re-inject capital back into the fund pool, in the process paying it forward for others to undergo specialised, intercultural theatre training.
