Elizabeth Galloway Diploma First-Year Fee Assistance

Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design (Pty) Ltd, South Africa

Scholarship overview

The Elizabeth Galloway Diploma Fee Assistance is run by the Elizabeth Galloway Academy of Fashion Design, a private higher education institution in Stellenbosch. It makes private fashion design education more accessible to deserving first-year applicants to the Academy's Diploma.

It supports the vision of the founder, Elizabeth, who wants students equipped with skills to add value to the local industry and make their mark internationally. The Academy looks for applicants who share the aim of becoming economically independent and passing skills on to others, who show potential and drive, and who meet the application requirements.

Only Diploma applicants are eligible. A fee assistance committee decides awards, and its decision is final.
