Trinity Laban Scholarships

We offer a wide range of scholarships to reward and encourage students, and to help them fulfil their potential. They can be awarded:

  • for outstanding performance ability, demonstrated at audition
  • for particular disciplines, including shortage instruments
  • To remove barriers to access for underrepresented or disadvantaged students

The majority of our scholarship awards are given in the form of a reduction in your tuition fees. We also offer some full tuition awards to especially gifted musicians.

All undergraduate students with Home fees and a residual household income of up to £30,000 qualify for financial assistance under the Trinity Laban Undergraduate Bursary Scheme. Students who have been granted a Student Loan will receive an annual cash bursary of £1,250 for the duration of their undergraduate programme.

Here is just a selection of the scholarships we offer. You don’t need to apply specifically for these – everyone who auditions at Trinity Laban will be considered for them automatically.
