The Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) Nyoloha Scholarship Programme (NSP) is a partnership between ACT and Nedbank Arts Affinity. Their goal is to create an opportunity to fund higher education for young South African performers and visual artists. The programme brings together talented, ambitious young people from across the country and introduces them to the world of professional arts through an intensive week of training, talks, and performances, culminating in a showcase and exhibition. Working with professional teams gives the participants a valuable experience as does the opportunity to work with other future artists from different backgrounds. The scholarships programme focuses on grade 11 and 12 learners and youth up to the age of 25 who have University Exemption and want to study towards a degree in the arts at a South African University. This scholarship requires active engagement for a period of 3 months and culminate in a final professional mentorship training week, performance showcase and visual arts exhibition for finalists from all over the country. Over the 3 month period prospective students will participate in tasks and several elimination rounds to determine who will perform in the final showcase for the prize of a full scholarship.
