The South African Graphic Design Council, think, has announced the winners of the successful applicants for its 2005 Annual Graphic Design Bursary programme. Veejay Archary, think chairman, says, "The work submitted was of a very high standard and unfortunately we only have limited funds to allocate to our bursary programme."
He says the panel could not decide on the three out of five top finalists, but with the pending auction sale of the Platinum Prize from the thinkAhead awards, an Apple eMac donated by the Core Group, and Creative Suite Premium software donated by Adobe, think has been able to extend bursaries to all five students!
Sduduzo Dlamini, a think bursary winner in 2004, will be completing his studies at Vega Brand Communication School this year with the assistance of his think bursary. Another Johannesburg student, Pheello Mofokeng, is entering his second year of study at the National Electronic Media Institute of South Africa (NEMISA) with a portfolio that demonstrates an excellent aptitude for graphic design.
Three students from KwaZulu-Natal will be attending the newly opened Vega Brand Communication School in Westville. A R5000 bursary for each student will be sent directly to the respective institutions at which they will be studying to be used, at the discretion of the head of the institution, for any expenses needed to further their studies.
i am currently studing at unisa doing financial management. But i have always wanted to do animation. when i ended my matric year, my parents unfortunately told me that they did not have enough money to put me on a animation school, therefore i had to do a bridging course in order for me to qualify for a tertiary institution.
since then i have been trying to find a place where i could at least get a bursary to study animation, but have been unsuccessful thus far.
i would really appreciate it if you could at least send me some information on how to apply for the competition to get a bursary, or at least just send me names of companies that offer bursaries for animation.
i would be really grateful if you assist me .
i congradulate you on your achievements and thank you for giving chances to young south africans who are trying to achieve their dreams. Posted on 14 Apr 2005 10:42
