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.
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.

If you are offered a place on one of the Faculty of Dance programmes, you may be eligible for financial assistance with your studies. There are a number of partial awards available depending on your programme and whether you meet certain criteria.
Please note that applications for financial awards for 2022-23 academic year are now closed. If you have already submitted an application earlier in the summer, but have not yet received a reply, then it is likely that you are currently on a reserve list in case more funds become available.
We will contact you to let you know whether your application has been successful should previously allocated funds be released.
There are also a number of external organisations which help support young artists. You apply to these organisations yourself, rather than through Trinity Laban. These include the Help Musicians UK fund, the Drake Calleja Trust (which supports musicians in London).
