Loeries creative future scholarship
About Loeries Creative Future Scholarship
The Loeries Creative Future Scholarship started in 2008 assisting matriculants with full time bursaries to study in the brand communications field. To date 19 students completed their degrees and successfully embarked on careers in agencies across South Africa.
In 2022, The Loeries set out to make a bigger impact. “It is important that the Loeries leads the way in transforming the industry and assisting students who otherwise would not be able to study, with the necessary support needed” comments Preetesh Sewraj, CEO of the Loeries. The Loeries education partners – AAA School of Advertising, Red & Yellow Creative School of Business, IIE-Vega School, Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography – all joined forces offering a total of 16 degrees and Higher Certificates, covering all tuition for the duration of the courses. From October to December last year over 50 students were shortlisted to be a part of the Loeries Creative Future Scholarship resulting in 13 young creatives being awarded a place on the programme for 2022 and 3 for 2023.
