Dalro: Arts & Culture Scholarship Opportunities
Sponsored by the Dramatic, Artistic and Literary Rights Organisation (DALRO) and Nedbank Arts Affinity, the Arts & Culture Trust’s Scholarships Programme is aimed at learners in their final year of secondary education who wish to pursue undergraduate studies in the performing arts. Individuals between 18 and 25 who are not considered to be professional and who are not registered for an undergraduate course during the year of participation are also eligible.

Three performing arts Scholarships to the value of R 150,000, R 105,000 and R 60,000 are awarded and winners are at liberty to select their preferred performing arts course at any accredited South African tertiary institution.
