Philip Lee Scholarship with The Gaiety School of Acting

Launched last year as a two‑year initiative, the scholarship reflects our shared commitment to improving accessibility and inclusion within the performing arts. By supporting emerging talent who may otherwise face barriers to professional training, the scholarship helps ensure that the opportunity to study at Ireland’s leading drama school is open to a broader and more diverse community.

At Philip Lee, we believe access to opportunity plays a vital role in building a more inclusive society.

As the programme enters its second year, we are proud to continue this collaboration and look forward to supporting the next stage of the scholar’s journey.

Reflecting on the impact of the scholarship, this year’s recipient shared:

“From a very young age I felt drawn to acting and storytelling. It was something I instinctively loved and always hoped to pursue, even when it felt like a difficult path to access. Philip Lee’s support has opened a door that would otherwise have been extremely difficult for me to step through.”
