The Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) in association with the Dramatic, Artistic and Literary Rights Organisation (DALRO) and Nedbank awards 2 grants of R 105,000 each towards the costs of undergraduate study in the performing arts at a leading accredited South African tertiary institution.

Learners in their final year of secondary education i.e. Grade 12, and individuals under the age of 25 with no professional experience and who are not registered for an undergraduate degree at the time of participating are invited to contend in a national competition where they will be assessed on their singing, dancing and acting potential.

Six finalists, will be selected to participate in a final practical demonstration of their work. Adjudication takes place in three regional rounds and one national round annually. Two winners will be selected by a panel of judges comprising of professional leaders in the creative industry. Scholarship winners will be at liberty to select their preferred performing arts course at any accredited South African tertiary institution.

Selected finalists must be available for the final round which will take place in Johannesburg during September. ACT will cover the costs of travel and accommodation for finalists.
