Berghs Advanced Scholarship
The Berghs Advanced Scholarship encourages applications from individuals who do not have a formal education within the fields of communication, advertising or design and is intended to help Advanced Portfolio Program applicants from a wider range of backgrounds launch a career in the communication industry.
The Berghs Advanced Scholarship significantly reduces the tuition fee of the Advanced Portfolio Program and eases the journey of domestic and international students who wish to invest in a future in communications. It is intended for applicants with an education in an area other than communication, or industry experience outside of the communication industry.
The scholarship is awarded to students who successfully enroll in the program and who file a compelling Scholarship Applications Letter at the same time as their application to the Advanced Portfolio Program, explaining their journey and their motivation towards the Program.
