The selection process for these merit-based scholarships included evaluations of the students’ written proposals, demo reels or artwork and letters of recommendation from faculty.

Along with initiatives like the Animation Archive, Animation Aid Foundation and the annual Annie Awards, the Animation Educators Forum is a key part of its mission to nurture the next generation of animators.
