ABOUT AFDA
AFDA is a relatively new higher education institution established in 1994 20 years ago. However, this has not stopped AFDA from becoming the best television, film and acting school in Africa.
The AFDA Board of Education (ABE) has established a Graduate Honors Development Scholarship for film students who lack funds to continue their studies.
The AFDA Honors Graduate Development Scholarship is for students who wish to pursue an honors graduate qualification in film production.
The scholarship will pay for the tuition for a full year of study.
Scholarship recipients need to sign two documents: the scholarship admission notice and the spirit of the agreement, that is, students must make up for one year of scholarship at the end of their studies.
