Re: When to apply?

Vaguely, DD is at Italia Conti, it is a CertHe course so is eligible for student loan. She was also offered a place at East 15 foundation, that is also funded. They are the only foundations I know that are, not sure if some of the other schools are changing in the future.

Re: When to apply?

My DD is also on a foundation course this year - acting. She had a gap year last year and applied late - the week before the Ucas deadline. Her auditions were between late Feb and April. She had 3 offers of foundations from 7 auditions plus an offer of a foundation audition after being rejected for ...

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018

DD has decided to accept a place on the acting foundation at Italia Conti. Coincidentally one of her best friends has also been offered a place on the same course and she made friends with a couple of girls at her audition who are also going there. So the 4 of them are hoping to live together. DD ra...

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018

So happy and relieved! After what seems like a never ending round of auditions DD has finished on a high. She auditioned at 7 schools for Acting BA and after a roller coaster ride has today received her 3rd foundation offer! She has rejected Royal Birmingham Conservatoire as it was not funded and ha...

Re: foundation course housing benefit

Thanks for the info Robin64, it may be worth a shot! She has still got East15 to audition at tomorrow and had Italia Conti last Thursday so a little part of me is hoping for a 3 year offer or even a foundaton from either of them as they are both funded :D :D

Re: foundation course housing benefit

Dd has been offered a foundation for september and I got excited about the possibility of her being able to claim housing benefit. However she will be 19 in June and as the course starts in september I think she has missed the window of opportunity. :(

Marissa we live about 14 miles away from the Hammond. There is very little snow here today. It may be slightly worse in Chester but I would imagine that the roads will be prretty clear now.

Re: Auditioning for SEPT 2018

My daughter has a Foundation offer this year for the second time at the same school for acting. Last year we couldn't afford it so she is on a gap year. This time we have money for a new drive saved up. However she is working so hard and on a zero hours contract that her shifts are variable. Also wh...

My son is currently in his second year of a 3 year Acting Ba and my daughter is currently on a gap year and auditioning again. Both only applied to Drama schools that have Student Loans available.
