Children’s Course Bursaries:
As part of the School’s strategy to encourage participation in Further and Higher Education from currently under-represented groups, a system of bursary support is available for Children’s Saturday Courses. This support is aimed at low-income and unemployed parents/guardians of children who would otherwise be unable to join the Programme. Bursaries are available for Children’s Courses only. Our aim is to offer direct assistance to such students in the form of a fee waiver directly from the Department. There are a limited number of bursaries available and only one bursary may be awarded per household.  Deadline for Bursaries is Friday 29th September 2023.

For further details and to request a Bursary, please email open-studio@gsa.ac.uk
