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
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.
If you have been offered and accepted a place on one of our postgraduate dance programmes, you are welcome to apply for a financial award.
More information about this will be coming soon for 2024 entry.
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.
