There is a wide range of financial support available to students at the Academy, ranging from loans from the government to tuition fee discounts from the Conservatoire and support from LAMDA’s own Scholarships & Bursaries scheme.
Whether you are eligible for some/all of this support depends on your nationality, household income and what stage you are at in your education. If you are new to Higher Education and do not already have a degree, you will be considered for funding as an undergraduate. If you already have a degree and are coming to the Academy to complete a further qualification, you will be considered for funding as a postgraduate.

You might also be eligible to receive a maintenance grant. For more information and to apply, visit www.studentfinance.direct.gov.uk.
