Scholarships & Bursaries

Scholarships

In 2021 we began our scholarships and Bursaries Award Programme. 

 

We offer two full tuition scholarships to train with us in Ballet for one year, this will be reassessed termly. We also offer a wide range of bursaries to reward and encourage students, and to help them fulfil their potential.
