3 Year Acting - Funding and Fees
If successful in gaining a place, the applicant will usually be told within a week of the audition. If they wish to apply for a Dance and Drama Award (see below for details) they will be sent a Financial Details form for them and their parents to complete. The Awards are given to the students who are judged at the audition to have the most potential to succeed in the profession. Where applicants are judged to have equal potential, the Awards are allocated to those who are in greatest financial need.
If not offered an Award the student must be absolutely certain they have enough funds for the fees and the considerable expense of living in London for one or three years, before accepting a place. It can be heart-breaking for a student to have to leave the course early.

FUNDING
DANCE AND DRAMA AWARDS
Fee support is offered to a substantial number of students through the government-backed Dance and Drama Awards. No student currently receiving an Award has to pay more than £1,250 per annum towards the fees. Award students with low-incomes support may also apply to the government’s Hardship Fund for further support towards the fee of £1,250 and for maintenance grants of up to £5,333.

Note: Applicants should look for other forms of funding before taking out an unsecured loan for education and should only borrow what is required to enable them to study. Early repayment of the loan is possible and reduces the cost of the loan.
