The Point Bursary Scheme

The Point Bursary Scheme helps support people aged up to 25 years old to overcome financial barriers to engaging in creative learning with funds generously donated by former local charity Arts & Youth Trust for Eastleigh.

We can help with a bursary to cover 50% or 100% of the cost of your class fees each term, depending on the level of help you require.

Who can apply for The Point Bursary Scheme?

The Point Bursary Scheme is especially for young people aged 5 to 25 who are interested in creative activities, but whose circumstances have made it difficult to get involved.

Examples of these circumstances could be but are not limited to:

  • Universal Credit
