Vancouver Animation School (VANAS), the largest educational institution of its kind in Canada, is granting more than 80 scholarships to Latin American residents. Those interested in animation, visual effects and video games can apply. The institution will give 50% Scholarships for LatAm Digital Arts Students for live online programs.
Before this Summer Session, VANAS will host a free information session. The online event will take place on May 24 at 11 AM Pacific Time and will be broadcasted live on the Zoom platform.
Applicants must reside in a Latin American country and hold citizenship from a LatAm nation. Applicants who confirm their ability to cover the reduced tuition and remaining balance will be considered for the scholarships. Applicants must submit five pieces of artwork relevant to their program of interest (from 2D, 3D Animation, Production Management, Virtual Reality, etc.). Portfolios must showcase original work — AI-generated artwork will not be accepted. Scholarships are given on a first-come, first-serve fashion. LatAm nationals residing outside of Latin America (e.g., a Mexican citizen living in the U.S.A.) are not eligible.
“We at VANAS always fostered creativity anywhere in the world. This is a unique opportunity for talents in Latin America to advance their career in the animation and visual effects industry. Anyone there can apply and have access to Canadian education,” says Mario Pochat, CEO and founder of VANAS.
Founded in 2010, Vancouver Animation School is a fully accredited online school offering advanced programs for the animation, visual effects, and video game industries. The company offers vocational certificates, diplomas, and university pathways in a variety of art and technology, media, and design fields. In 2013, VANAS became the first 100% online institution to be fully accredited in Canada and opened its U.S.A. Branch in 2021. The institution frequently offers free tutorials on its YouTube channel.
