Bristol Old Vic Theatre School is able to award some full and partial bursaries which are available to support young people to participate in its youth groups and short courses.

All applications for bursary places will be considered and there are many criteria we use to assess applicants. These include, but are not limited to: applicants in financial hardship; disabled applicants; applicants from low areas of progression to higher education; applicants in care/care leavers or groups of people who are considered ‘hard to reach’.

Funding will be allocated on a case by case basis and applications for funding must be submitted by 4 pm on Friday 28th June 2024. We will review all applications the following week and will aim to get back to you that week before places on the autumn term Young Artists scheme go on general sale.

If you are a parent filling in this form, please include details of the student attending Young Artists, not yourself, except of course, where it specifically asks for your information.

If you are a student, you must be over the age of 13 to fill this form in. If you are not over the age of 13 please do not fill this form in and if you are unsure what to do, please email us at the address below.

If you have any queries please email student-recruitment@oldvic.ac.uk

Note - We cannot guarantee that you will receive a bursary. Bursary amounts are liable to change each term.
