Performing Arts Scholarship

If you are a gifted and talented student in this field, you may wish to apply for the Performing Arts Scholarship Programme.

Scholarships are valued up to a maximum of £200 and can be used to subsidise costs related to your study and ambition – for example additional books or resources, or costs of visits to Universities. Scholarships are only available to students of Bridgwater & Taunton College who are under 19 on August 31 on their year of enrolment.
