The RTS believes in diversifying and future-proofing the TV industry, and that starts by channelling new voices. Since the first RTS Bursary Scheme was launched in 2013 by our Royal Patron, His Majesty King Charles III, we have supported over 370 students from low income backgrounds, with 82% of graduates securing employment within TV and related industries. 

The RTS runs two pioneering schemes with the support of our partners:

• TV Production and Journalism Bursary
• Digital Innovation Bursary

​We award bursaries to students from low income backgrounds studying any and all subjects as undergraduates or at HND Level 5 or 6. All you have to do is demonstrate your passion for pursuing a career in television, film, digital content production or related media industries in your application.

We'll provide you with:

• Funding from £1,500 per academic year
• Free access to all RTS events, networking opportunities, screenings and lectures
• A personal industry mentor
• Free RTS Membership

What sets the Bursary Schemes apart is our phenomenal network of RTS members, patrons and supporters, including RTS Bursary Ambassador, TV Presenter AJ Odudu. Through offering work experience, networking opportunities and mentoring, they help us lay out a clear career path for our scholars: the next generation of TV and digital media talent.
