AFDA Postgraduate Honours Development Bursary South Africa 2023 – 2024

ABOUT THE BURSAR

AFDA is a fairly new tertiary institution, founded only 2 decades ago in 1994. However, that hasn’t stopped AFDA from becoming the top television, film and performance school in Africa.

The AFDA Board of Education (ABE) have established the Postgraduate Honours Development Bursary specifically for Motion Pictures students who lack funding to further their studies.
 

ABOUT THE BURSARY

The AFDA Postgraduate Honours Development Bursary is intended for students who wish to study towards a Postgraduate BA Honours qualification in Motion Picture.

 

The bursary will cover the tuition fees of the course for one full year of study.

Bursary recipients will be required to sign two documents: a Bursary offer letter and a Spirit of Agreement which means that students must work back the bursary for one year on completion of their studies.
