A County Durham student who was given a place at a prestigious performing arts college in Scotland is unable to get student loans to cover the cost of her studies.
Emily-Jane Bainbridge, who has dreamed of performing all her life, was thrilled when she was offered a place at The MGA Academy of Performing Arts in Edinburgh. The 20-year-old, from Sherburn Village, said she was one of only 20 students accepted onto their three- year BA Acting course.
She intended to cover the majority of the cost of her £9,000 a year tuition fees, her £1,750 a year registration fee and her accommodation with student loans. However The MGA Academy of Performing Arts does not have a licence to work with Student Finance England.
