Dance and Drama Awards
The Dance and Drama Awards (DaDA) are
scholarships funded by the Learning and Skills Council for individuals
who want to become professional dancers, actors or stage managers.
The Dance and Drama Awards are given to students who display the
most talent and potential at their audition.
The Awards offer greatly reduced tuition fees but the student will
be asked to make a contribution. They also provide access to income
assessed support to help with living costs and student fees contribution.
You will only be eligible to receive a Dance and Drama Award if
you take the Trinity College London qualifications. These courses
last between one and three years and are at National Diploma or
National Certificate level. Elmhurst Sixth Formers take the National
Diploma in Professional Dance. This is a Level 6 qualification,
which is recognised, in the new Further Education Framework, as
the vocational equivalent of an honours degree.
The Dance and Drama Awards do not fund students taking degree courses.
The student must be an EU national at the start of the course and
have been resident for the three years immediately preceding the
first day of the first academic year of the course.
