If you think it will be too expensive for you to join our courses, you’re almost certainly wrong. If you’re offered a place, we can help you to find grants and grant-making bodies. We can provide you with a free Financial Consultation to go through the various funding options available to you and to discuss the best ways to get you training with us.
After receiving a place offer, we’ll also provide you with a detailed guide to fundraising which includes:
Anything is possible, provided you take the first step and send in your application.
WHAT NEXT?
The Bridge has various ways to make your training more accessible and affordable:
Scholarships & Awards
The Bridge is offering up to two half-scholarships for the 5-Day Courses in the 2025-26 academic year. Students may apply for a scholarship after auditioning and being accepted onto the course and securing their place by paying their registration fee. The Scholarship Audition will take place on the 30th of August 2025. Students will be assessed on their financial needs, but will also be expected to demonstrate a positive attitude, ability as an actor, commitment to training, and a high level of professionalism.
Other awards may also be available, at The Trustees discretion.
3-Day or 5-Day Programmes
The Bridge offers a 3-Day Programme and a more intensive 5-Day Programme, to better accommodate those needing to work to fund their professional training. Both courses will offer expert guidance from industry professionals and will leave you with the skills and confidence needed to pursue a successful professional acting career.
Flexibility and extending your course
Courses can be tailored to you. You can study the one or two year programmes over a longer period, to spread out the costs and enable you to work. For example, you could study Terms One and Two and then complete the third term a year later.
John Greenwood Student Hardship Fund
John Greenwood was a Patron of The Bridge before his passing and had unwavering support for our company and our students. We have created the John Greenwood Student Hardship Fund in his honour, to help those that find it difficult to support themselves through their professional training.
Fees and Funding
We are committed to making it as easy as possible for you to become an actor. As a non-profit making educational charity, we charge only the basic cost of training, with many services donated entirely free of charge by the professional practitioners who support The Bridge’s work and give something back because they know how much of a commitment you are making to your training.
“I had an absolutely fantastic time at the Bridge. There was so much warmth and care. It was a big family but at the same time I felt really valued as an individual and that my development as an actor really mattered. The teaching was excellent and I learnt SO much. My time at the Bridge was totally transformational and amazing”
