No potential student should
be discouraged by lack of financial means from making
application to the School.
The Royal Ballet School is a member of
the UK Government's Music and Dance Scheme designed
to enable young, talented dancers and musicians to receive
full-time education and training at a specialist school
irrespective of their parent's financial means.
Successful applicants who satisfy European
Economic Area (EEA) residence requirements receive means-tested
financial assistance in the form of an Aided Place.
Non EEA applicants are not eligible for
UK Government support and must therefore be able to
pay full fees and maintenance. However, the School has
limited Scholarship and Bursary funds available to assist
certain students.
Those who satisfy United Kingdom residence
requirements are also entitled to a maintenance grant
of £8,841 which is also means-tested in the usual
way.
A number of bursaries are also available
for students on The Royal Ballet School Summer Schools
and Junior, Mid and Senior Associate courses.
