Who was this scheme for?
Ambitious and talented students aged 17 and over on the 6th April 2009 with a place, or applying for one, on a professional musical theatre training course in the UK, and without the means to pay for the fees.

This scheme was open to students who are about to start their course and to students who are part way through a course.

We were looking for applicants with talent and motivation who really need our financial support to help pay their tuition fees. If you had the means to pay your fees, we are unlikely to offer you a grant.

Students who receive a Dance and Drama Award from their college will not receive a grant from the Training in Musical Theatre scheme.

This scheme changed from previous years in that it will only contribute to the cost of your fees. We will not pay for travel, headshots, equipment, books, magazines or living expenses, such as rent, mobile phone, food or clothes.
