Drama schools - which ones are fully government funded

Hi, I'm auditioning for drama schools this year and didn't realise they don't all receive full government funding, in which case, there's no way I could afford to go! I'm applying to East 15, LAMDA, RADA and Royal Welsh, does any one know if they are eligible please? And also any other drama schools that are too, just for future reference? I've tried researching but I can't find definitive answers.Thanks!

Either go to the website and check, google or contact them and ask.
I will assume you are applying for degrees?

https://www.east15.ac.uk/fees-and-funding
https://ww2.lamda.ac.uk/all-courses/fund-your-training/uk-eu-student-funding
https://www.rada.ac.uk/courses/ba-hons-acting/#costs-and-funding

They are all funded if you are doing an undergrad degree and would normally meet the eligibility criteria UK or EU citizen 3 years residence.
You can look up the others yourself using the methods above and now knowing what you are looking for. Drama schools, especially Rada also have wide ranging scholarships and bursary systems.
