Bursaries

Each year, Brighton Fringe offers a series of bursaries in collaboration with various local, national and international organisations. Bursaries ensure that those who may not normally take part in Brighton Fringe can do so.

Bursaries cover the cost of event registration alongside a variety of other support in the form of monetary support, mentoring support or marketing support.

Each bursary will have a different set of criteria you are required to meet to apply, set by the bursary provider. Most bursaries require you to fill out a short application form explaining your eligibility for the bursary. If you require support to fill out the form, please contact our Artist & Venue Services Team at [email protected].

Bursaries will be offered in two waves:

• The first wave ran from registration opening on Wednesday 9 October 2024 until Monday 18 November 2024. Announcements will be made on Monay 25 November 2024.
• The second wave ran from Friday 10 January 2025 until Monday 3 February 2025. Announcements will be made on Friday 7 February 2025.

If you are awarded a bursary after you have paid your registration fee, you will be refunded in full.

Brighton Fringe 2025 bursaries will be announced in Autumn 2024.
