Scholarship information

Purpose

The Production Park Scholarship supports care-experienced students entering undergraduate study at the Academy of Live Technology (ALT). It aims to remove financial barriers and improve access, retention, and success for care leavers in higher education by providing a full tuition fee waiver for up to three years of study.

The Production Park Scholarship is named after the ALT’s parent company and Europe’s only live events and entertainment campus. Production Park advocates the importance of a diverse community in successful live events production and creative practice and has been built upon a strong work ethic and drive to advance the industry. It is in this spirit that this scholarship has been named.
