The DLD Alpha Scholars Programme offers Scholarships of up to 50% off tuition fees to students who can demonstrate potential beyond their years, both in character and ability.
Scholars will take part in a unique programme of study alongside their academic work. This will include university extension courses, support and encouragement to aid finding work placements, and an active role in our community projects. They will also be given the opportunity to attend regular co-curricular activity sessions developed to enhance their emotional and professional skills: from teamwork; leadership, emotional intelligence, and cognitive flexibility.
As well as workshops in media training, CV building and interview preparation. Alpha Scholars are ambassadors of DLD College London and at times will be called upon to act as figureheads at several internal and external events.
Alpha Scholars will promote our TRACK values of tolerance, respect, academic curiosity, community and kindness.
