Audition & Application Fee Waivers

There’s only one you. And there’s only one Trinity Laban.

We know that applying to conservatoires and higher education can be expensive.

We offer free auditions and interviews if you meet certain criteria, to support you to be able to make an application, whatever your financial circumstances.

Free School Meals

If you have been in receipt of means-tested Free School Meals (FSM), you will be eligible for a waiver for both the UCAS Conservatoires application fee and the Trinity Laban assessment fee (if applicable). Make sure you choose the option to indicate this in your UCAS Conservatoires application, which can be found in the “More About You” section. Tick the box that confirms you currently receive UK government-funded Free School Meals or have been in receipt of them in the last six years.

Once you get to the payment page, select “Pay using a different method” and submit your application. UCAS will then contact you directly about your application.

We also offer free auditions and interviews to Music and Musical Theatre programmes if you are:

• Ordinarily a UK Resident (not just for the purpose of education) and

• Applying for an undergraduate programme and

• In receipt of at least one of the following:

• • Income-based Jobseekers Allowance
  • Income Support
  • Housing Benefit
  • Council Tax support (not just the single person reduction)
  • Income-based Employment Support Allowance
  • Personal Independence Payments (PIPs)
  • Pension credit (guaranteed element only) with an award notice showing annual gross household income of less than £30,000
  • Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit or Universal credit with an award notice showing annual gross household income of less than £30,000
  • Full-time carers allowance
  • Under 18 and in residential or foster care

The above can be considered for the household where you have permanent residence.

International and Postgraduate students are not eligible for audition fee waivers.
