ALRA is a private school, working within the Further Education sector. Eligible students on the Three Year Acting course and Postgraduate Acting course can apply for a Dance and Drama Award to assist them with the cost of tuition.

The Dance and Drama Awards (DaDA) are scholarships funded by the Learning and Skills Council. They are awarded by schools to the students who display the most potential to succeed in the profession.
Only students taking an approved Trinity College London qualification will be eligible to apply for an Award. These courses last between one and three years and are at National Diploma or National Certificate level.
Awards offer greatly reduced tuition fees and access to an income-assessed student support fund.
For further information about the awards and eligibility, please visit the DaDA website at www.direct.gov.uk/danceanddrama.
