The 2024 Search Scholarship
We know how tough it can be to pursue a post-secondary education. That’s why at VFS, we’re committed to making your dream career a reality. Alongside The Great Canadian Search Tour, we’re announcing a brand-new scholarship, launching September 21 (day 1 of the tour)! One full-tuition scholarship will be awarded later this year for each of our School of Animation, School of Film & Television, and School of Games & Creative Design – for a total of three scholarships. Find out the full details, including how to apply, at each stop of the tour.
