Funding advice for students including scholarships provided by the RCA and from external sources.
Students coming to the RCA obtain funding from many different sources. Some are lucky enough to win scholarships and sponsorship, while some have managed to save money from working. It is impossible to list all the potential funding sources however the following information could be useful.
The pages set out below are updated as new funding options become known so please ensure you return to check these pages.
