Deadline: August 31, annually
The goal
of The National film and Video Foundation (NFVF) is to stimulate training and
development to make the film and television industry more accessible for
previously disadvantaged individuals and those with financial difficulties.
This goal is achieved by awarding bursaries to students to attend various
tertiary institutions worldwide.
The NFVF
is a National Body and therefore encourages students countrywide to apply for
bursaries.
Bursaries
are aimed at students who are hard workers, have a passion for the industry but
lack the financial resources to meet their ambition.
The application criteria for national bursaries includes the
proviso that the student should be
accepted and registered at an institution that offers formal tertiary
qualifications. The student should be able to demonstrate financial need, i.e.
by submitting parent’s payslips etc. and have proof of good academic results
(secondary). Applications need to submit a one page motivational letter
demonstrating why the individual is a good candidate to receive a bursary. The
letter should also include all the required information as per application
form.
Once you
have applied and submitted all the required documents (as per the application
form) before the deadline, August 31 annually, an internal and external
panel evaluates each application. Applicants are shortlisted and thereafter
interviews are conducted to ensure that bursaries are awarded to the most
appropriate students, who will ultimately become NFVF Ambassadors.
Individuals
may apply to the NFVF for bursaries to support their studies at international
tertiary institutions for film courses that are not available in South Africa.
Due to minimal resources at the NFVF’s disposal, 100% bursaries will not be
awarded.
