Scholarship

VANAS Scholarships

VANAS offers both merit and need-based scholarships to offset tuition fees for candidates whose profiles will help further the programme's objectives as a vehicle for promoting art and technology education. Scholarships for Animation, VFX, Concept Art & Game Design programs.

How can I apply for a scholarship?

Anyone who has a portfolio can apply for a VANAS Scholarship. If you have any sketches, animation designs, drawings or other art work pieces, please select 5 that represent it best and apply for a scholarship. The application for VANAS scholarships is after you have been accepted into your program, and not before. Meaning, you won't be awarded a scholarship until you are successfully accepted in the Diploma program of your interest.
