Delamar Scholarship Scheme

As the longest running independent makeup school in the UK, we are very proud to be celebrating 40 years of training makeup artists. Over the last 40 years we have provided world class education in hair and makeup, helping thousands of students launch successful careers in the industry. It is a testament to our teaching that we are still the only makeup school that has taught students who have gone on to win Oscars, Baftas and Emmy awards. It is amazing to see so many of our graduates working as Designers on film sets and TV dramas, running WHAM departments in the West End plus leading campaigns in Fashion weeks around the world. We always remember that these graduates all started out as nervous students with big dreams, and so as part of our 40th anniversary celebrations, we are launching our new PENNY DELAMAR SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME to help talented UK students with funding. These scholarships will give 20% off the course fees on our longer courses.

If you would like to apply for a scholarship, you will need to submit :

  • A statement of up to 300 words of why you should be awarded the scholarship.

  •  Up to 12 images of your work in hair and makeup / art work including drawing, painting, and other forms, to be submitted in pdf format. The first page must clearly show your name and date of birth and the course you are applying for including start date.   

  • The deadline for submission will be 15 July, but Delamar Academy will be assessing submissions from when they are sent in.

If you would like to apply for a scholarship for the upcoming course starting 24 August, please schedule a call to speak to us or email info@delamaracademy.co.uk to let us know.

Delamar Interest Free Payment Plan

A 25% deposit along with a completed enrolment form secures your place on one of our courses. The remainder of the fees are usually then payable a month prior to the start of your course.

For those students on our longer courses who will struggle to pay all the fees in one go we can arrange to split the the remainder of the fees into 3 further amounts of 25% each. A further 25% is then payable prior to the start of the course and the final two remaining payments of 25% at agreed payment dates within the course. Without charging interest on the sums due we hope this will allow more students to get the training they require to start their dream career. (This option is agreed on a case by case basis so please discuss it with us).
