We first heard about Ryan through one of our advisors, Aaron Parry, Chief Creative Officer, Stereo-D and Deluxe Animation Studios at Company3/Method Studios. Now, thanks to a grant from that team, Ryan will be participating in our summer animation program at Exceptional Minds. We’re excited to open our doors to Ryan, the many students already enrolled, and to the world of possibilities that await.
During this time of economic challenge for so many families, we appreciate companies like Company3/Method Studios who provide tuition assistance for our students. To help a student pay for summer classes, please donate to our Scholarship Fund today.
