Does anyone know the etiquette of when it is ok to contact colleges to ask where on the reserve list for funding your DD is? It would really help my DD on her decision making if we knew roughly where on lists she is, but I don't want to be a nuisance to the colleges, who I'm sure are really busy right now.

Not sure if it's me whi has misunderstood but I think what dancemom43 means is that the current Foundation year students haven't had their audition results yet so there will potentially be offers to be made to them with or without funding which will have a knock on effect on who gets offered funding.

Hi I'm new to this site and have found your information very helpful! I've found the whole journey of auditions /funding/waiting very stressful. My daughter has been awarded a Dada from Italia Conti, has anyone on here heard how much they are receiving?? She has an induction day 2/6/17 and we were hoping to know by then. So pleased to read many positive story's about the success of your children. Let's hope the wait will be over soon ](*,)
Thanks Karen x

Thanks dancemom43. Just looked at the scale. Does the amount you receive depend only on your income or your audition scores too?? Sorry if I'm asking obvious questions!!

Hi Kazzer55.
Well done to your dd for her DaDA. The audition score will only decide IF your dd is awarded a DaDA. Once the college offer the DaDA the amount you receive is only dependent on household income. Audition scores will not affect the amount of the DaDA.
Hope this helps xxxx

Hi Beanie-Bean, that really does help!! Without funding my dd wouldn't be able to attend the college so this makes me hopeful now. She is also on the waiting list for performers which was her 1st choice but as she's number 40 I doubt that will happen. Where is your dd hoping to go to?? Xxx

Hi Kazzer55
My dd would like to do a degree and is on wait list for degree at Bird which is her top choice. However she has an offer from a very close 2nd choice so we will just have to wait and see. xxx
