SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS AT THE ROYAL CENTRAL SCHOOL OF SPEECH & DRAMA UNIVERSITY OF LONDON
Founded in 1906, ‘Central’ is a world class centre for training in theatre and performance studies. The BA Theatre Practice course trains students in the collaborative process of performance design, with intensive training in one of a number of specialisms including set design, costume design, lighting, prop making, scenic painting and stage management.
“Over the past year, I’ve accomplished things I’d never dreamed of as a child. The money I received from my scholarship made a huge impact on the quality of my first year at Central. It has allowed me to live comfortably and settle into my new life, giving me the time to find a job in a decorating shop that suits my uni schedule. Most emotionally perhaps, the scholarship has allowed me to visit home. Before moving out, I had feared it would be impossible to see my family. However, with thanks to the bursary I received, I’ve been able to budget in a few visits home to Cornwall which always leave me refreshed and more excited to develop my props work”
