Everything that happens in our building happens because of your support, including our teaching and learning methods and facilities, our incredible on-stage performances, and our ability to provide hundreds of students every year with scholarships and bursaries.
My scholarship allowed me to come here – it helped get me through the door and I’m eternally grateful for that.
— Michael Ahomka-Lindsay, BA Musical Theatre Alumnus and award-winning star of Newsies and Cabaret in the West End
We firmly believe that the performing arts have the ability to bring people together, spread joy and heal the deepest divisions; our work and that of our staff and students has never been so vital.
We are incredibly fortunate to have generous and committed donors who share those beliefs. Their financial support allows us to give out almost £1.5m in scholarships annually which alleviate financial stress and allow students to concentrate on their studies.
Donations also allow us to invest in our buildings, technology, and teaching, all of which enhance the student experience. This vital assistance has never been so important.
