Fees and Funding

The registration fee, which is non refundable, reserves the place offered. A deposit is also required, which is held by the College until completion of the course, when it is reimbursed.

All fees are due 6 weeks prior to commencement of each term. A full term’s notice in writing or payment in lieu of notice is required. This notice must be received before commencement of the term to which it applies.

Scholarships and Boys awards are offered to talented students who have limited funding; we also operate monthly schemes and partial payment deferred fees. Full details can be obtained from the Bursar – Tel: 0113 3850896 – email: intake@slpcollege.co.uk

No talented student is ever refused a place through lack of funding.

Dance and Drama Awards Funding News – January 2012

The Department for Education has been working with colleagues in the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS), Young People’s Learning Agency (YPLA) and Skills Funding Agency (the Agency) to consider a long term solution to providing support for the most talented young people and adults to access specialist dance and drama provision in the UK.

In December 2011, the departments concerned reported that they need further time to consider the options, and that they have therefore decided to postpone the implementation of the new arrangements to commence in September 2013 rather than September 2012 as was anticipated.

The DaDA scheme will therefore be supported for a further, final transitional year in, 2012/13. This means that students showing exceptional talent during the autumn 2011 audition period and who start courses in September 2012 will continue to be offered awards under the DaDA scheme, and will be funded to the end of their courses.

This will be the final transitional year, before a long term solution is implemented.

Career Development Loans

Professional and Career Development Loans are bank loans that can be used to help pay for work related learning. You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 to help support the cost of up to two years of learning (or three years if it includes one year’s relevant unpaid practical work).

The Yong People’s Learning Agency will pay the interest on the loan while you are learning and for one month afterwards.

The loan can be used to pay course fees or other costs such as travel and living expenses. You can also use the loan to supplement other forms of support such as grants or bursaries. Because the Professional and Career Development Loan is a commercial loan product, they should only be considered as an option once all other student funding options have been investigated.

For further information on financial assistance to support your learning, please visit www.direct.gov.uk/adultlearning or contact Careers Advice on 0800 100 900. Our learning provider registration number is 8642.
