Scholarship details
We are committed to supporting UK disabled talent and being a catalyst for meaningful change to issues faced by disabled talent within the UK screen and games industries. As part of our commitment to making the creative industries more accessible to disabled talent, we are providing dedicated funding to help to support UK students with disabilities to access our world-class training.
Five bursaries will be available for UK students applying to study on full time MFA and MA courses from September 2025, providing up to £5,000 per annum each. Additional bursary support is also available for UK students applying to study part time Diploma and Certificate courses from September 2025 of up to £1,000 each. UK Students studying courses supported by NFTS scholarship and bursaries will also be eligible to apply for further funding from the School to help with tuition fee costs.
The funding aims to assist UK students who face significant additional costs because of the nature of their disability.
The bursary could be used to help with costs such as:
- Accessible accommodation
- Carers accommodation
- Additional heating and electricity costs
- Travel expenses
- Specialist and mobility equipment
Candidates must have been permanently resident in the UK for the last three years and hold a British passport in order to be eligible.

A visual impairment uncorrected by glasses (e.g. blindness or partial sight)
A hearing impairment (e.g. D/deafness or partial hearing)

A social, behavioural or communication impairment (e.g. an autistic spectrum condition or Tourette’s Syndrome)
A long-term illness or health condition which may involve pain or cause fatigue, loss of concentration or breathing difficulties – including any effects from taking associated medication.
We cannot accept applications from individuals who only experience a mental health condition, challenge or disorder (e.g. anxiety or depression).
We will require medical confirmation of your disability. This may be a letter from your health care provider, doctor or consultant, confirming your stated disability.
On receiving an offer of a place on one of our courses, you will be given further information on how to apply, if you are eligible.
Applicants will need to provide medical evidence of their disability (from a GP, consultant or specialist practitioner) and provide information on how the funding will be used. Applications will be assessed by a panel comprised of NFTS representatives and the School’s Disability Advocate.
