Fees and finance

Each year, we are delighted to partner with some of the industry’s leading artists and companies to offer a limited number of scholarship opportunities to dedicated applicants and students.

In recent times, we have partnered with Dermot Kennedy, Sinead O’Connor, IMRO, and RTÉ 2FM to allow an applicant to enroll with us free of charge.

Available scholarships are announced prior to the summer of the year of enrolment, with the successful applicant selected in August each year.
