The National Youth Ballet Bursary Fund is reserved for those talented young dancers most in need of financial support. We want to actively encourage a diverse range of applications by removing financial barriers.
Bursaries are available for applicants from low socio-economic backgrounds. This forms part of the NYB strategy for Diversity and Inclusion. The value of the fund is dependent on our success in fundraising. We cannot guarantee that every application to the fund will be successful. Since 2021 it has been very oversubscribed. We will continue to endeavour to support as many eligible dancers as we can.In assessing each application the NYB team will take into account a number of factors based on the Jerwood Foundation’s Toolkit for Socio-economic Diversity and Inclusion in the arts. NYB may require provision of financial evidence before deciding on any application.
Awards will be distributed between NYB events that take place throughout the year. All information included in this application will be treated as confidential.
