Applications are now open for Screenwise’s 2023 Founder’s Scholarship. Now in its sixth year, this program continues to offer one talented young actor from an economically or socially disadvantage background the opportunity to study at the school.

Valued at $35,000, the Founder’s Scholarship covers all tuition fees for the two-year full-time government-accredited 10869NAT Advanced Diploma of Screen Acting over the complete course of two years. The award also includes the production of the scholarship recipient’s showreel and industry graduation showcase upon completion of the program. In addition to full subsidisation of tuition fees, the successful applicant will receive mentoring from a range of actors throughout the duration of their studies.

Screenwise encourages individuals from underrepresented communities to apply for the award.
