Eligibility
BRIC prioritizes students from historically underserved backgrounds with limited access to certain educational opportunities. We especially welcome applications from women and individuals who identify with groups historically excluded from media and visual arts careers, such as Black, Latino/a, LGBTQ+, and Neurodiverse communities.
To be eligible, students must meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Attend a New York City Public High School.
- Attend a school without a comprehensive media art program.
- Qualify for free school breakfast and/or lunch.
- Come from low- or moderate-income household (See 2024 NYC Area Median Income)
These criteria collectively aim to target students who may face barriers to accessing comprehensive educational opportunities, particularly in the media arts, due to financial constraints or lack of familial support for higher education.
