Applications are currently closed for Equity’s Student and Young Member Bursaries.
Each year, bursaries of £500 each are awarded to two Equity Student Members in their final year of study on a course of one year or longer, and two members of Equity who are aged 18-30.
The scheme is funded by donations from Equity Life Members, demonstrating their solidarity with younger members of the creative workforce entering the entertainment industry. The bursaries of £500 are to assist Student and Young Members with the costs of beginning a career in the sector.
Applications will open in 2027.
This bursary was paramount to helping me set off on a more optimistic foot upon graduating and moving to a new city. It allowed me to attend and apply for workshops, opportunities and overall provide that extra bit of financial stability that is so rare in the industry - especially at this early stage
