Description

The Dance and Drama Awards (DaDA) scheme offers an income assessed contribution to tuition fees and living costs for eligible students at private dance and drama institutions in England.

Institutions that are part of the scheme are allocated funding (via a contract) by Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). Institutions assess which students are eligible to receive support and how much funding they are entitled to, based on their household income.
To be eligible to be part of DaDA, institutions must meet ESFA requirements including Trinity College London validation, Ofsted grading of 1 or 2 and financial health.
