Bursaries are available to participants who require financial assistance in order to participate in a Film Academy course. You can use this towards travel to the course, childcare or any other expenses that may prevent you from participating otherwise.
If you have been accepted onto a Film Academy course, you (or parents or carers on your behalf) may apply for a bursary if you, or your parents or carers, are in receipt of any of the following benefits:
•
Income-Based Employment and Support Allowance
•
Income-Based Jobseeker’s Allowance
•
Income support
•
Council Tax Benefit
•
Child Tax Credit
•
Universal Credit
•
Free School Meals (anytime in the past two years)
•
Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
If you, or your parents or carers, are not in receipt of the above benefits, you may still apply for a bursary if you will struggle with financial costs. In this case you will need to briefly explain why a bursary is needed in the space provided below.
There is no maximum amount that is available per person, you can apply for the amount that you require. However, the method and class of travel, along with all other expenditure costs, must be reasonably incurred. For example you must purchase the most cost effective tickets using the most economical and practical form of transport e.g. trains instead of driving and standard class instead of first-class tickets. Car travel should be claimed at 40p per mile.
To receive your payment you will have to send scans or photos of the receipts
The BFI will only use the information on your form to process the claim. It will not be shared. Where it is used for statistical or reporting purposes, you shall remain anonymous.
Once you have applied we will be in touch to let you know the result of your application.
