We encourage you to do your own research into funding options. 

 

Some suggested and previously successful routes to aid financing the training are:

  • Crowdfunding platforms

  • Sponsorship from business, associates, family, friends

  • School/college alumni funds

  • Local/charitable organisations with a specific interest in the arts

  • Short term loan options

There are also a range of charitable trusts that offer support for young creatives. Please ensure that you research these fully before applying, to boost your chance of being successful.

 

Our approach to making our training financially accessible begins with the construction of our courses. Many of our students work flexible jobs around their training.

 

 

 

Scholarships

 

Helping you to access the arts

 

We’ve awarded over £375,000 in scholarships since 2010.

 

We offer partial and full scholarships for students who need them most each year and these are entirely funded by Fourth Monkey.

All scholarships are based on audition outcomes, personal circumstances and financial need. They are means tested, to ensure financial award is given to those who would otherwise be unable to train.

Fourth Monkey is proud to be able to offer financial aid to students who would not be able access our training without support and we are delighted that six of our valued patrons also offer support  to our students.

EU & International Students

 

Student Visa

​

Following Britain’s withdrawal from the EU, freedom of movement between the UK and the EU unfortunately ended on 31 December 2020. EU citizens now require a visa for studying in the UK. This does not apply to Irish nationals, or anyone who benefits from Citizens’ Rights under the EU Withdrawal Agreement.

If you have confirmed settled or pre-settled status, you do not require a visa. As an EU student, you will be required to confirm settled or pre-settled status at point of application.

Without settled or pre-settled status, we regret that this course is not currently available to EU or International applicants who would require a Student Route Visa.

We are working hard to rectify this situation and, once again, be able to welcome all International Students to Fourth Monkey.

 

English Language Requirements

 

All International applicants should have excellent conversational English and be able to understand a variety of texts. As with UK applicants, our audition panel will be assessing how you deliver your speeches and interact with the panel at interview.

If English is not your first language you will need to meet the same standard expected of UK applicants, which is equivalent to the IELTS Academic 6.0 overall score, with at least 5.5 in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.

A full list of English Language tests can be found on the Falmouth University website.

 

Fees & Funding

​

As part of our commitment to Accessibility, Fourth Monkey do not charge increased tuition fees to International Students.

We recommend contacting the Department of Education in your home country for details of any government funding or scholarships which may be available to you for overseas study.

 

Resources for International Students

​

The UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) is a helpful resource to find information and advice for international students, including Brexit, immigration, funding, fees and wellbeing.
