Any financial advice for an American wanting to go to drama school in the UK


Any financial advice for an American wanting to go to drama school in the UK?
I've just graduated from high-school, and I plan on going to a local university as a theatre major for now to gain some experience. I would prefer to go to a vocational drama school though. I'm working and saving money, but I make barely above minimum wage and my living expenses limit my savings so I'm largely dependent on funding and scholarships. I've done a good bit of research, but I'm just trying to cover all of my bases. If you have any knowledge on the subject I'd love to hear from you.

Sorry to say but there are very few, if any, international scholarships out there for vocational training. International education is a luxury, not a right, so it is the responsibility of the student and his/her family to finance the majority of the costs of obtaining an education overseas. If you do not have the money saved then you need to weigh your options and look into good schools in the US. You could always pursue an internship in the UK during your schooling or see if there are any shorter term study-abroad opportunities through your drama school.
