If you are successfully selected, you will be contacted regarding fee payment after an offer has been made.

Due to popular demand and a limited number of places, not all applicants will receive a place. 

The Youth Academy offers a limited number of scholarships based on economic circumstances. Under this scheme, the Academy covers 90% of the course fee, with parents/guardians contributing the remaining 10%.

If your child has a medical card, you are eligible to apply for a scholarship. Please apply via the online application form by uploading proof of your child's medical card details. You can take a photo/scan of your child's medical card and upload to the form.

25% of the total number of places we have on offer are allocated on a scholarship basis, so not all who apply for a scholarship will be successful. 

Course Allocation
Places will be allocated on a random selection basis after the closing date and not everyone who applies will be offered a place.
