GREAT Scholarships
This year, in partnership with the British Council and the GREAT Britain Campaign, Trinity Laban will be offering 2 scholarships for Post Graduate courses in Music:
- 1 for students in mainland China
- and 1 for students in Turkey.
We offer a wide range of scholarships to reward and encourage students, and to help them fulfil their potential. They can be awarded:
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.
Trinity College London Scholarships – prestigious scholarships for music students supported by Trinity College London, our sister organisation.
Principal’s Awards for Excellence – BA Contemporary Dance applicants with international fee status
Six awards available (1 x £10,000 and 5 x £5,000 for each year of study) to support international fee-paying students enrolling on the BA (Hons) Contemporary Dance for 2021/22 entry. Determined by the Trinity Laban financial award panel, the awards will be based on merit, assessed as part of the recorded audition process. To be eligible, applicants must have international fee-paying status and submit a UCAS Conservatoires application, along with a recorded audition by 26 March 2021.

If you are offered a place on one of the Faculty of Dance Postgraduate programmes, you may be eligible for financial assistance with your studies. There are a number of awards available depending on your programme and whether you meet certain criteria. In order to apply for a financial assistance award you will need to complete the online survey. Please do not complete this survey if you are an undergraduate or a Music/Musical Theatre student as these will not be processed.
We will contact you to let you know whether your application has been successful as applications are considered on a rolling basis. Please that it is not guaranteed that all applications will result in an award.
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) and the Gill Clarke Bursary, open to students on the MA/MFA Creative Practice: Dance Professional Practice programme.
