HOW TO APPLY FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP

There are two different pieces necessary to apply for the scholarship. First, applicants must complete the Official Scholarship Application. Then they must apply to attend the school itself. Both applications MUST be completed before someone is considered eligible for the scholarship.

For the Official Scholarship Application, applicants must provide things like a link to their portfolio, an audition video, and/or samples of work that apply to their chosen program. The school prefers methods of sharing like Google Drive or Dropbox to make the process easier. There are also some personal essay questions to answer to be considered for the scholarship. For more information on what they are looking for, you can visit their website for a comprehensive list.

When the school has received your application for the scholarship, you will be contacted and introduced to the facility. There will also be possibilities for online classes explained to you, and, if you are coming from out of town, the idea of living in Vancouver will also be discussed.

Again, you can find out more information about this process, and everything you will need to provide, on the VFS website.

While acting school can be an expensive endeavour, some places like the Vancouver Film School will provide amazing opportunities like this 2023 Future Scholarship to ease the financial burden.
