LFA FUNDING FOR FILMMAKING DIPLOMA
Our financial assistance in the form of Scholarships and Bursaries, has been set up to promote cultural and social diversity within LFA and is available for our Filmmaking Diploma course only. These Scholarships and Bursaries are available to students whom the LFA consider to have demonstrated a high standard of work and work ethic through their supporting materials and interview, and whose financial circumstances would otherwise not permit attendance on the course. If you are applying for a Scholarship or a Bursary you must show a credible need for financial assistance through documentation and include a Personal Statement explaining reasons why you would like our financial assistance.
LFA Scholarship
There is one half-scholarship available per Filmmaking Diploma intake (e.g. the LFA Scholarship award for September 2011 intake amounted to £9,250 therefore a Scholarship student paid £9,250).
LFA Bursary
There are a few Bursary placements per Filmmaking Diploma intake available (e.g. the LFA Bursary award for September 2011 intake amounted to £5,000, therefore a Bursary student paid £13,500). LFA Bursaries are given on merit and at LFA's discretion. Students from outside of the EU (requiring Tier 4 visa to study in the UK) are not eligible for LFA Bursaries, however they are eligible for LFA half-scholarship.
