Scholarships & funding
The IAB offers a limited number of scholarships each year. These are awarded to new students only and may be awarded for any of the IAB’s programmes. Scholarships will be offered to students identified by the faculty as having the potential to make a significant contribution to the development of the performing arts.
You therefore cannot apply for a scholarship.
A scholarship constitutes a reduction in fees, rather than a full fee waiver.
