Mayflower Theatre’s Head of Creative Learning Patrick O’Sullivan, Chief Executive and Creative Director Michael Ockwell and the whole Mayflower team are proud to announce that this year, they have awarded a total of £36,500 to nine deserving rising stars to help them fulfil their ambitions, as part of the Higher Education Bursary Scheme.
The Higher Education Bursary Scheme is open to individuals between the ages of 18 – 25 who reside in Hampshire. Support is prioritised to those who are either attending a degree course or audition run by a member of The Federation of Drama and Dance Schools; experiencing financial or other hardship or who demonstrate outstanding commitment and achievement in their art form.
Michael Ockwell, Chief Executive of Mayflower Theatre says “I am delighted that we’ve been able to support nine such brilliant, dynamic and deserving individuals with our High education Bursary Scheme this year, and we can’t wait to see what they do next. It is a huge privilege to be able to honour young talent locally each year by supporting their ambitions through this scheme.”
