Student Training Bursaries
As part of the programme, each student is required to attend regular dance classes outside of their CAT training. Each student is entitled to a bursary to be paid for the additional home-based classes per week.
Students will be expected to fill in a claim form, and supply receipts in order to claim the bursary.
Additional Assistance
Where a student is in receipt of a full Music and Dance Scheme (MDS) grant they may apply for additional assistance with travel costs and the purchase of dancewear. To apply for assistance a student or their parent should contact the Programme Manager who will provide them with the appropriate request form.
