Scholarships and Awards

NAS Scholarships ensure exceptional talent is nurtured and artistic potential is realised.

Scholarships can break down barriers to higher education and provide students with vital financial assistance to complete their studies.

All National Art School scholarships, prizes and awards are enabled via philanthropic and corporate donations. This support can be directed to students entering both our Bachelor of Fine Art and Master of Fine Art degree programs, and contribute to valuable professional development opportunities.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss your interest in supporting a student prize or scholarship, please contact:
