Trinity Laban strives to recruit talented young musicians and dancers regardless of their background and financial circumstances. However, students often struggle with the financial pressures of paying fees and the costs of living in London.

 

Each year over 200 Trinity Laban students benefit from scholarships. They range from the lowest level of support at £1,000 per year, to a few exceptional scholarships of £25,000 per year, which covers both tuition fees and living costs. Scholarships are awarded for excellence, but donors often wish to ensure that financial need is a factor in scholarship selection.

The cost of training at conservatoire level is high. For example, the fees to complete 4 years undergraduate training at Trinity for a UK/EU student amounts to £14,000 plus maintenance costs, and for overseas students this rises to £56,000 plus maintenance. At Laban the fees to complete 3 years undergraduate training for a UK/EU student amounts to £9,700 plus maintenance, and for overseas students this rises to £40,000 plus maintenance.

Finance is especially crucial for Postgraduate students, as they will already have been subject to 3 or 4 years of fees and maintenance costs for their undergraduate study. The fees to complete 2 years postgraduate training for a UK/EU student at Trinity amounts to £14,000, and for an overseas student this rises to £28,000. In addition, the British Council's estimate of the cost of living in London for 2 years adds a further £20,000 to these figures.

Ways to Support

Scholarship gifts are welcome at any level: each gift makes a difference. Supporters who wish to make a gift towards scholarships can make a gift to the Trinity Laban Scholarship Fund or can establish a Named Scholarship.
