The Ian Wardlaw Drama Trust has launched its annual appeal for applications to its bursary award scheme.
The local charity, founded in memory of local theatre stalwart Ian Wardlaw, has been granting awards since 1995. The bursaries help local young people with an interest in the performing arts to access further education and training.
Bursaries can be awarded to local young people, of at least secondary school age, towards any education or training that will further their skills in the fields of the performing arts. Applications can be made in respect of performance or any related specialism such as writing, directing, costume design, lighting, make-up, etc.
Local singing star Nicky Spence, a former bursary recipient, said “The Wardlaw Trust acted as a vital springboard for my passions in the arts as a youngster. I am indebted to them for their boundless support for my career.”
Application forms can be downloaded from our website www.wardlawdramatrust.org and should be submitted before June 1st 2015.
