SCHOLARSHIPS
Full and half scholarships
At EYT, we believe that high-quality arts education should be available to all children, not just those who can afford it. We understand that our prices may not be affordable to everyone, and since we don't receive any government funding, we can't reduce the fees for all students. We are however committed to offering scholarships to those students who need them.
Full scholarships
For students whose parent(s) benefit from the bénéficiaire d'intervention majorée (BIM) / verhoogde tegemoetkoming status, or a single parent benefitting from allocations de chômage / werkloosheidsuitkering, or a family that has officially recognised refugee status (réfugié reconnu / erkende vluchteling), we can offer a full scholarship place. This means that all fees are waived as long as the family is still receiving benefits. We offer five full scholarship places across the youth theatre. Parents are asked to prove their status each year: this is to ensure that these places go to those who need them.​​

25% sibling discount
For parents who already have one child enrolled, the second (and any subsequent) child receives a 25% reduction in fees.​
Other scholarships
If you can't afford our fees, but still want your child to take part in our course, please contact us. While we cannot guarantee a place, we will always look for a solution to make it possible for your child to participate. Parents are asked to prove their status each year: this is to ensure that these places go to those who need them.
How to apply for a scholarship?
To apply for a scholarship, you can get in touch with us using the contact form, and click "Scholarship enquiry" from the "Purpose of contact" drop-down menu. You can then explain your specific circumstances in the box below.
​
When our team contacts you, they will ask you for a certificate from your mutuelle / mutaliteit proving your status as a beneficiary of the BIM / verhoogde tegemoetkoming, or for a document proving your status as a recognised refugee, or for more details on your financial situation. You will be asked to prove your status every year, in order to ensure that places are going to those who need them.
Please note that there are only a limited number of scholarship places available, and that a place may not be available in the teaching centre of your choice. If a place is available in another teaching centre, you may be offered that one. If no scholarship places are currently available, you have the option of being added to a waiting list until a place becomes available for your child.
