Examinations Bursary

We are delighted to announce our new RAD bursary fund for examinations.

This Bursary has been established thanks to the many generous donors to our Steps to Success campaign. We are extremely grateful for their support.

The fund has been set up to create even more opportunities for dancers who may struggle financially to enter our exams, to reduce inequality, and to expand our exams into new, under-represented groups globally.

All exams are eligible including the Solo Seal Award and bursaries are available worldwide.

Successful candidates will have 6 months to use the bursary from the date of being informed of their award.

We hope you or a teacher you know may be able to take up this opportunity to provide financial assistance to deserving candidates.
