What is the MYC Bursary?
We want as many young people as possible to have access to our creative activities and we do not want someone’s financial situation to be a barrier to taking part. The MYC Bursary exists to enable participants to take part in activity provided by Mercury Theatre. These activities include the participation in courses and productions.
Please note: we have a limited number for bursary places available and bursaries are subject to availability.
PLEASE NOTE BURSARY PLACES ARE CURRENTLY FULL AT THE MOMENT AND OVERSUBSCRIBED SO ARENT ABLE TO ACCEPT ANY MORE.
What can I expect financial support with?
Bursaries are available to part or fully cover course fees depending on your current situation.
