Applications are now closed for the academic year 2024/2025
Successful applicants will be eligible for a Tuition Fee & Student Contribution Charge waiver for the duration of their course or until such a time as they become eligible for the Free Fees initiative and/or SUSI grant scheme. Once an applicant is deemed eligible, is successful in receiving the scholarship, and is accepted onto an IADT course, they will also receive financial aid and support with daily costs including travel and food.
Please note that if there is competition for scholarship places an IADT committee will assess applications, and base outcomes on eligibility criteria and information provided in the applications.
