The Animation Workshop may not award a scholarship to all applicants, but they make efforts to assist in any way possible.

The application deadline for the course and scholarships is the same, so be sure to submit both forms before the deadline. You can request several categories (travel, accommodation or participation fee -partial or full-), but be realistic about what you need.
