Hi everyone,
Our daughter has ADHD, anxiety issues etc and her main interest is in Performing Arts. She is talented in dance, singing and drama. However she is due to undertake a full time course in September where the fees are £3,500. Due to her PIP and part of her ESA being taken from her, she will struggle to pay for her course. The course is an accredited HNC course, and although we have tried various avenues I.e DSA, local authority etc, we have drawn a blank as the venue for the course is not "on the list". We have tried grants from charities but her age is against her. Has anyone got any ideas where to apply. Many thanks.

Hi @edwards123, do the company do scholarships at all?
The only other alternative I can think of is crowdfunding, something like a GoFundMe page. Is this something you have looked into?Scope -
Thanks for getting back . Trouble is that she was fortunate to get a Bursary last year, but due to her ill health was unable to complete the course, therefore they are reluctant to offer it again. They do support students with disabilities and it was just unfortunate what happened last year. Thank you.

Hi @edwards123, I'm sorry to hear that. I imagine that's not the easiest. If I find anything else that might be useful, I will let you know.
