Terms and conditions(Required)

The Dartington Trust Bursary scheme is a tuition fees award paid as a deduction directly from your tuition fees only.

The Dartington Bursary scheme is open to all full- and part-time applicants of our undergraduate programmes and postgraduate Master’s programmes.

The bursary is not available to applicants of our postgraduate PGDip or PGCert programmes, top up to MA, top up to MFA or undergraduate HECert or HEDip programmes.

Undergraduate applicants must apply for a new bursary award prior to the start of each year of their programme if required. Any bursary awarded will be for 1 academic year only. It may not be carried over to a different year, or deferred.

All bursary applications will be considered by the Dartington Trust Bursary Panel which will meet regularly as required.

The Bursary Panel will award applicants who evidence financial need, as specified in Section E of this Application Form. However, it is not possible for all students evidencing financial need to receive a bursary, owing to the limited bursary funds available.

All information provided will remain confidential and will not be shared with anyone outside of The Dartington Trust.

Applicants must be available for interview if required.

Applicants may not under any circumstances defer take-up of the bursary until a later date.

The decisions taken by the Bursary Panel are final and are not subject to appeal. You may make a complaint if you believe that you have not been considered for an award because of a procedural error, or you believe that there has been some other procedural problem with our allocating and awarding system. All complaints should be sent by email to admissions@dartington.org. You must comply with all requests for additional information to establish your eligibility within the timeframes specified and you must submit any evidence requested by the stated deadlines.

Bursaries will be agreed for full- and part-time students.

Bursary recipients who switch to part-time study will be required to immediately pay back to the Schumacher College or Dartington Arts School 100% of bursary funds awarded. Schumacher College or Dartington Arts School may apply discretion where exceptional circumstances are deemed to apply.

A Bursary award may be withdrawn where a recipient changes their course.

Bursary recipients who withdraw from their programme at any point will be required to immediately pay back to the Schumacher College or Dartington Arts School 100% of bursary funds awarded, on a pro-rata basis according to the point at which they withdraw, and will not be eligible for any refund of tuition fees. Schumacher College or Dartington Arts School may apply discretion where exceptional circumstances are deemed to apply.

Dartington Trust reserves the right not to consider an application for a bursary if the entrant is or had previously been in debt with the Dartington Trust, has previously been withdrawn from their studies on Academic grounds, has submitted fraudulent documentation or inaccurate/incorrect information to Dartington Trust previously.

Students in receipt of a bursary must agree to participate in the Dartington Trust evaluation process, and may be asked to including complete a Report for returning to the Dartington Trust at the end of their course.
