We have a bursary fund that supports students and their families dependent on their situation.
We have a fixed amount allocated for bursaries in our budget and we will look at each application on a case by case basis. We allocate partial bursaries wherever possible, totalling a percentage of the fee.
With thanks to the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation, we are delighted to be able to offer a number of fully-funded places on the Summer Academy theatre strand.
Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation Scholarships will be awarded based on merit and financial need, with an emphasis on supporting young people from currently underrepresented backgrounds (i.e. Black, Asian and ethnic minority students, disabled students and those from low income households).
Summer Academy students will have access to Leeds Conservatoire's virtual learning environment SPACE giving students access to interactive resources and the ability to upload a mixture of videos and recordings.
All lessons will be delivered via Zoom so students can discuss new topics and concepts with their tutors and peers, as well as having individual time to implement new topics into their own practice.
You do not need any advanced software to attend this course, although some parts may require audio/video recording. This can be done on a mobile device, tablet or any other recording software you have access to.
We are always here to support so please get in touch by emailing SummerAcademy@lcm.ac.uk or by viewing the Online Learning website page if you have any questions.
