Course Details
In 2026/27 we’re delighted to be supporting 4 students on the new 2-term and 3-term Acting Foundation at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, with a £5,000 bursary each to support half of their training costs.
Both the School and the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation stand together in the belief that professional training should be accessible for everyone, not just those with the means to pay for it.
This ‘talent first’ approach is an increasingly important part of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School’s mission and values, which is very evident from the role out of the new Acting Foundation courses and the pledge to provide such a high number of part-funded places.
“We are extremely grateful to the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation for their continued support and investment in the School’s students and their training. It gives real validation to our aspirations as a forward thinking and equitable institution, enabling us to continue delivering the World class creative training we’re famous for.” Explains School Principal Stuart Harvey.
The new £20,000 scholarship fund will cover 50% of the fees for four student and help to open the door of this exceptional training to a wider pool of potential students, who may otherwise have not been able to consider it.
The new scholarship fund is an extension of the very successful and long-standing relationship that the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation has had with the school over many years.
The Foundation has previously provided scholarships and bursaries to students studying BA Professional Acting and MFA Professional Acting at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.
