The guide sets out the funding rules for the Dance and Drama Awards (DaDA) scheme and forms part of institutions’ ESFA funding agreements. Institutions must comply with the rules and must be able to show they comply at any audit.

Only institutions who are ESFA approved to administer the scheme can offer DaDA funding to students.
