Hi, my name is Mckenzie, and I’ve been offered a place at my dream drama school—ArtsEd. It’s one of the most prestigious drama schools in the country, and I’m incredibly proud to have been accepted. I have been working for this since I was a little girl and I am still in shock that this amazing thing has happened to me, I am so incredibly grateful.

However, attending this drama school comes with a very high cost. Tuition alone is over £17,000 per year, and with additional living expenses such as accommodation, food and travel—especially in central London—it quickly adds up. Unfortunately, as I am a welsh student, I do not qualify for any student finance either so I currently have no support.

Training at ArtsEd would mean the world to me, and it would be absolutely heartbreaking not to be able to go due to financial reasons. Right now, I simply can’t afford it, and I’m reaching out for support.

Any contribution, no matter how small (even 50p!), would make a real difference. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any help you can give to support me and my journey!
