Does everyone who applies get a bursary?
– All applications for bursary places will be considered and there are many criteria we use to assess applicants. There are no guarantees of monies being allocated. Assessment criteria include, but are not limited to: applicants in financial hardship; disabled applicants; applicants from low areas of progression to higher education; applicants in care/care leavers or groups of people who are considered ‘hard to reach’. The School’s Young Artists Bursary Policy outlines how we allocate full and partial bursaries to participants. If you have any further questions, please contact [email protected].
