An Italia Conti bursary can range in value from a percentage of fees up to the full cost of tuition. Household income must be under £25,000.00 per annum in order to apply for this award. Bursaries will be reassessed each academic year.
Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre
Currently, only the Level 6 Diploma’s in Professional Musical Theatre and Dance attract this funding, unfortunately, all other courses are not eligible for this award. The awards offer reduced tuition fees and income-assessed support with living and learning costs at some of the leading independent Dance and Drama schools in England. They are funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency.
The award covers some of the tuition fees charged and is means-tested. The household income threshold if £90,001 per annum. Government-funded Dance and Drama Awards will continue to be available for new students starting courses as well as continuing learners. Awarded students are income assessed for both tuition fees and maintenance on the basis of a national scale – with students from lower-income families contributing less and those from higher-income families contributing more.
The award covers all or part of the tuition fees charged based firstly on audition scores and secondly on a means-tested sliding scale. Maintenance is only awarded to those on lower incomes.

Students who will be aged 19 years old or over at the start of their course may be eligible to apply for a government funded Advanced Learner Loan. Further details can be found at the following website:
The maximum Advanced Learner Loan amount per student is £22,185.00 payable over 3 years directly to Italia Conti. Advanced Learner Loans are available to fund tuition fees only.
Please note Italia Conti only has a limited allocation for Advanced Learner Loans per year which are awarded on a first come first served basis. Italia Conti cannot be held liable if we reach our allocation limits before you have applied.
Students on our HE courses are potentially eligible for funding by the Student Loans Company; a non-profit making government-owned organisation set up to provide loans to students on university courses in the UK. Students who are eligible for a tuition fee loan from the UK government are able to ‘study now and pay later’. Access to tuition fee and maintenance loans for the HE courses is dependent on the student’s individual financial circumstances and the status of the course’s eligibility.
If you are eligible for a tuition fee loan you won’t have to pay any fees up front, and you won’t start paying the fees back until you’re earning a reasonable income. The current UK threshold is £27,295 a year, £2,274 a month, or £524 a week.

All Courses Charitable trusts and foundations have helped finance successful UK pupils in the past. Details of these can be found in the Directory of Grant-Making Trusts available on the internet or at local reference libraries. The Italia Conti Trust is a registered charity and offers support to genuine hardship cases but normally, although not exclusively, only to students who are progressing from one course to another or to students who are currently training on one of their full-time courses. A special provision is usually made for an outstanding Associate School student who has been selected for a place in the Theatre Arts School and who would be unable to undertake full-time training without financial help. The introduction of the Dance & Drama Awards and state funded Higher Education Awards has resulted in the decline by the majority of Local Education Authority awards to offer students on full-time courses awards. It is, however, worth noting that LEA’s are still at liberty to offer discretionary awards and students are advised to explore this avenue.
Italia Conti in conjunction with The Stage newspaper offers applicants the opportunity to audition for a scholarship funded place on the Trinity Level 6, three-year diploma in Musical Theatre. Please indicate on your application form that you wish to apply for additional funding, ie The Stage Scholarship.
The Stage
“I have just graduated from Liverpool Theatre School with a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre. I wanted to do the BA Hons (Top Up) in Professional Arts Practice course to further develop my skills for the industry. It is the perfect balance between academic writing and creativity. I already have seen improvements, both in my academic and performing work, and I now really value the ability to critically reflect on past experiences in order to improve my current skills.”
“I have found that my first term at Italia Conti has been better than I could’ve imagined. I am working with driven, passionate, likeminded people within all different realms of the performing arts industry. I find that the course is very tailored to each individual and the content is broad enough to apply to everyone but specific enough to challenge each person within their abilities. I find the course to be a place where I can collaborate and interact with people who I’d never had met otherwise. I only look forward to what the next few months of the course bring and feel more motivated than ever.”
Current Student, Class of July 2024“The course is allowing me to reflect on my past practice, current position, and future endeavours. I really enjoy how flexible the course is, with regards to being able to tailor my studies to my own practice, enabling me to maximise the benefits of this on my future career. I expect my professional development to be impacted exponentially and I am excited to continue!”
“Italia Conti’s BA Top up course was the one for me! Creating a business in under 9 months has been a massive accomplishment! The course really helps shape your future, enables you to meet professional contacts to support your research, and gives you lots of time to understand the area of the industry you want to specialise in.”
I’m a professional dancer but have taught only ballet. These classes are EXACTLY what I was looking for to show some basics of contemp for my students !! Absolutely love every single Video
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I love every single one that she teaches. THANK YOU. Gorgeous movement.
Amazing class, one of the best I’ve ever done. So easy to follow, thank you!
I’m a dancer in LA and can’t keep up with my peers on how often they take dance classes. This channel has been so helpful for me to keep up my training. Thank you for sharing this with the world. I feel like we are all dancing together even though we are all doing this at different times and in different spaces. 🖤
Best ballet teacher on the internet❤ Great explanation, enthusiasm and commentary throughout the exercise!
