About The Scholarship Fund

The VO Peeps Career Education Scholarship fund is an MCA-I sponsored nonprofit 501(c) (3) fund dedicated to providing both need-based and merit-based scholarships to qualified members of the voiceover community. Please consider donating to this worthwhile cause!  You could help to change someones life!  Your investment allows us to set bold goals in 2015, reaching voiceover professionals and aspiring artists around the globe with educational opportunity and a helping hand. We strongly believe that there is no more valuable investment than education and financial help when it is needed, and the life change it provides. Our efforts are focused this year on growing our Fund as much as possible, and helping as many in the Voiceover Community as we can. We recognize you have many choices of where to direct your philanthropy and take our role as stewards of your gift extremely seriously. Thank you for your support as we continue to scale and reach out to the Community, providing educational access and opportunity. Your partnership allows us to plan with confidence, and your commitment to help create global change through education makes this possible.
