FTV Script and Production Awards
Whilst the VCA's School of Film and Television doesn’t have any department specific scholarships, there are a number of scholarships administered centrally by the Faculty students can apply for.
Film and Television has numerous awards which are merit based, delivered at script stage and to completed productions. These awards are determined by a School-appointed panel, with no applications required.
