CTN and the CTN Foundation have announced 11 discipline-focused awards named for industry luminaries and 4 awards offered through a new International Creative Exchange Program (ICEP).
The Creative Talent Network (CTN) and Creative Talent Network Foundation (CTNF) have just unveiled details and submission requirements for their 2025 slate of yearly scholarships, their largest offering ever. Reflecting the CTN mission of “No Artist Left Behind,” this year’s lineup features 15 dynamic programs: 11 discipline-focused scholarships, each in the name of an award-winning industry luminary; and four offerings through the newly launched International Creative Exchange Program (ICEP). These initiatives are uniquely curated to mentor and empower the next generation of young artists across various disciplines, with a goal to preserve, protect, and perpetuate the art of animation and visual storytelling.
The new 2025 Scholarships are:
These programs join CTN’s highly successful Disney Legend Andreas Deja’s ‘Character Animation’ Scholarship, now entering its third year this June. More information HERE.
This year, the CTN Foundation added three new scholarships to the International Creative Exchange Program (ICEP), providing a global cross training canvas to learn through the cultural and creative exchanges of students and master educators around the world. The ICEP debuted in June 2024, when six CTN members were awarded the opportunity to travel to Seoul, South Korea, to the CK Animation School (Chung Kang College of Cultural Industries) to study, learn and explore with Master Animator Mike Nguyen for four weeks. This was followed by 20 South Korean students traveling to attend CTN eXpo in Burbank, where they showcased their work and interacted with top artists in attendance.
Submissions for the second year of the ICEP South Korea/CK Animation School Scholarship are now being accepted. The deadline is March 16, 2025. Creatives are encouraged to apply HERE.
New ICEP scholarships in 2025 are:
“I’m so grateful for the support of those patrons sponsoring these great programs, and the artists giving generously of their time and talents, to make this amazing slate of opportunities come to life,” said CTN founder Tina Price. “The addition of these scholarships and ICEP exchange programs are incredible ways for our community to work together to so that all may thrive.”
