Eligible applicants will be considered for a Dance and Drama Award (DaDA) – this is an income assessed scholarship funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). If you are successful at audition, and if you are eligible, you will automatically be considered for DaDA funding at Laine.

The amount of funding, as allocated to the College each year by the ESFA, does not cover all those that are eligible.  The criteria for DaDA allocation specifies that scholarships are awarded to the most talented applicants until funds are exhausted. It is for this reason that those eligible for DaDA funding are placed on a ‘talent list’, and from that list, scholarships will be awarded to the most talented.
