kcoom75 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Has anyone from the Hammond 6th form reserve list been offered funding.......it seems to have gone quiet and we're still waiting patiently:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'm guessing there may be a few who were waiting Central etc results which are only just out. Also most of the more musical theatre type courses (Bird, Laines etc) haven't necessarily handed out their DaDas yet. I know of done who have offers at all three but need to know about funding at The others. Term ended at Hammond last weekend although the admin staff are still in this week do there is time yet.

kcoom75 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 They told me their deadline was 8th April so I was hoping to hear soon after that but I suppose people could be holding places until they find out results from elsewhere.........I never was any good at waiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I can imagine Is the deposit £60 for upper school like it is for lower school. I know one person who paid the deposit to hold the place as in the scheme if things it wasn't much, then turned the place down later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcoom75 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 I'm not sure how much it is as we've only had a letter saying we are on a reserve list, but if it is only £60 it would probably be worth paying 'just in case' ....but I heard there were 38 on the waiting list and without knowing where we are on the list it is a bit worrying.

Picturesinthefirelight Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Is that waiting list for funding or for an actual place? The other thing to consider. & maybe give you hope is that there may be students who have been offered a DaDa but when they look at the figures may find that their parents earn too much (over £70k) so arnt entitied to the award. That DaDa would then I guess be offered to the next person on the list. I'm not entirely sure of all the ins & outs of DaDas however (dd is a long way off) but there are threads on them on here.

kcoom75 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 yes dd a place but is on a waiting list for a dada.The school have also said they will be contacting us about the possibility of a bursary but I haven't heard anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 As far as I am aware there is no deposit required for a 6th form place and I know its horrible waiting but it is still early days in terms of DADA waiting lists and bursary offers. There are definitely still people out there with multiple offers or maybe only Hammond DADA who have not yet heard from other places and so do not yet know where they are going to go. Don't forget that Hammond first year is a common year for both dance and musical theatre students and so applicants who are interested more for the musical theatre side will also no doubt have applied for Laines, Millenium, Bird etc and many of the MT colleges do not award DADAs until end April or even early May. We certainly did not hear until May. Re the bursary - I think they wait until DADAs are settled before looking at giving bursary offers. Hang on in there and good luck for a happy outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lidabelle Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 kcoom75, hang in there! My daughter was offered a DaDa at Hammond and we were given until 25th April to accept or not. Waiting lists should therefore start moving soon. Wishing you both every success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowerdew Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 One of my students heard on 22nd April that she had been awarded a DaDa at Hammond she was also on the waiting list! Fingers crossed you hear good news very soon Kcoom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcoom75 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 I've been told by the hammond today that all the dada's have now been accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchidblue Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 My dd was offered DaDA at Hammond last week. She was high on reserve list. Accepted it on the phone but just sent back written acceptance. Don't give up hope yet though kcoom75, people can change their minds and not all offers from other institutes are out yet so even though some have accepted they could change their minds. Are the able to discuss bursary help with you now? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcoom75 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) they have said we can have a discount but with accomodation on top it's still a big stretch. Edited April 28, 2014 by kcoom75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Don't give up hope yet kcoom. Just because people have accepted their DADAs does not necessarily mean they have made a final decision. Some may still be waiting to hear from their preferred place but have accepted in the meantime because of the deadline set. And we definitely know of one person who is still undecided as they need more information on accommodation costs and what their DADA covers. Should point out, as it probably says in your letter, that bursary information is confidential so on an open forum be careful what you say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcoom75 Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Thankyou 2dancersmum abd orchidblue, we are still hopeful but it is disheartening. We do have a plan B so all is not lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
