ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The EA Teen Animation Scholarship is a full scholarship available for artists ages 15-19.

In this program, students learn the methods, techniques, and technologies used in animation and have the rare opportunity to learn from experienced industry professionals and hear from guest EA lecturers. These leaders share their knowledge and provide project mentorship as well as technique and skill development. Participants with a passion for animation, a talent for storytelling, and a commitment to the program will be able to develop a strong portfolio project perfect for post-secondary school applications. The program concludes with a showcase of student work.
