Hi Guys:hello: My 16 year old DS is about to start college to study BTEC National Diploma In Performing Arts~Musical Theatre, here in Warwickshire. Do any of this forum's experts know of any bursaries/grants/scholarships he could apply for please? I have googled my eyes out!:rotfl:
The college is one of the best in this field but don't have a Bursar.
I know he will get some help because I'm on Income Support but wonder what else I can try because he's going to need regular replacement of equipment.
The college advises against students on this course to work, or if they have to no more than 7 hours a week due to the physical and mental demands of the course and the fact that they won't be able to commit to regular shifts due to rehearsals, trips, homework etc. He'll be commuting over an hour each day, each way and the course is equivalent to 3 A-levels. He did try to find summer work this year but no luck - they're not so keen on employing school leavers. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
