Scholarships are private funds that do not have to be repaid. Scholarships can come from a variety of sources — community groups, corporate donors, or the IBTC FILM SCHOOL; each with its own requirements and application process. They are an excellent resource for students seeking help with the cost of their education, and can help reduce the dependence on loans to cover educational costs. Students are encouraged to search and apply for as many scholarships as possible. The IBTC FILM SCHOOL is pleased to offer need based tuition discount to qualifying students. This is a needs based program designed to help reduce the student’s cost of education in the IBTC academy’s three months programs. To qualify, applicants must show a credible need for need based tuition discount through documentation (i.e. parents’ income tax statement, if dependent; personal income tax, if independent). Additionally, applicants must submit an essay describing accomplishments and justification for consideration of IBTC’s need based tuition discount. Thank you.
