Tyler Benett was on a DREAM Charter High School study abroad trip in Colombia when he learned he had become the first-ever DCHS student accepted to an Ivy League school. \u201cEveryone kept telling me to open my email [from Dartmouth], and when I did, I remember thinking, \u2018wow, this is really my life,\u2019\u201d he recalls.<\/p>\n

But even as Tyler reveled in his tremendous accomplishment, he knew pursuing his passions may mean a different path. A lifelong performer, he is part of the SCAN-Harbor Performing Arts Academy, receiving instruction in dance, theater, and singing from a young age. As a teen, the organization introduced him to the Garden of Dreams\u2014a nonprofit that works with MSG Entertainment and MSG Sports to bring life-changing opportunities to young people\u2014and his love of the stage continued to grow. At the 2022 Garden of Dreams youth talent show, Tyler wowed the crowd with a medley of 90s R&B songs, and this past December, he performed in a Knicks halftime show, opening the show himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy biggest goal is to be an EGOT winner,\u201d he says. \u201cI know I can reach those heights. I want to do Broadway, be in film and television, and release music. I want to do it all and I feel I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDREAM has taught me that staying focused and determined will always lead you to bigger things. But being who you are in every space always matters.\u201d<\/h3>\n

Tyler’s love of performing and his desire to continue this passion motivated him to apply for a Garden of Dreams scholarship, with hopes to use the funding to pursue drama studies at NYU\u2019s Tisch School of the Arts. Though Tisch was initially out of reach financially for Tyler and his family, the Garden of Dreams awarded him $60,000 over four years, just enough to make it a reality.<\/p>\n

Faced with two amazing options, Tyler knew he had a difficult decision to make\u2014become DCHS\u2019s first graduate to take on the Ivy League, or pursue a path at one of the world\u2019s most preeminent arts schools. Tyler remembers DREAM\u2019s support in choosing his best fit, which ultimately led him to Tisch.<\/p>\n

\u201cDREAM has taught me that staying focused and determined will always lead you to bigger things,\u201d he says. \u201cBut being who you are in every space always matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
