How young is too young when it comes to big money?

Most people know that the cutoff age for applicants submitting a project for the RJAFTA scholarship is 35 years old. Some people have asked us recently if there is a MINIMUM age, and after investigation it appears there is not! However, all applicants, regardless of their age, must address the application criteria fully. We especially would like to encourage senior high school students to consider applying. So if you know a budding thespian, musician, artist, craftsperson, dancer, photographer, singer, potter, poet, writer (we could go on and on!) who you think may have a strong project in mind and demonstrates the maturity to execute it, then point them in the direction of our HOW TO APPLY page to see if they meet the conditions - who knows, $10k may come their way.

Pre-applications close 31 August, with final applications closing 30 September
