Apply for a TICE Bursary

Creativity belongs to everyone; this is your chance to explore it.

Hello, dreamer, maker or curious mind!

We are so pleased you are applying for a TICE Bursary.

This opportunity is for young people aged 14–18 living in the North East of England who would like to take part in a TICE Creative Project completely free of charge.

We are not looking for grades or experience. We want to hear about your interests, ideas, and what creativity means to you. The bursary gives you the chance to build your skills, confidence and portfolio, with full support from industry mentors.

Applications are open anytime throughout the year, but only 20 young people will be awarded a bursary each calendar year.

Eligibility

To apply, you must:

  • Be aged 14–18

  • Live in the North East of England (Tyne & Wear, Northumberland, County Durham or Teesside)

  • Have an interest in creativity, design, media, fashion, photography, music, and illustration

  • Be able to commit time to completing your chosen project


    You do not need to have studied art or design before. We welcome applications from all backgrounds, especially from those who have not had access to creative opportunities before.
