The Bank of Namibia (BoN) has awarded bursaries to nine undergraduate students to pursue their studies at various institutions of higher learning.

Over the past twenty years, the Central Bank has awarded bursaries for the development of human capacity and provided a helping hand to those from less privileged families.

For the first time since its establishment, the Namibia Film Commission (NFC) will be offering bursaries to students wishing to pursue a career in filmmaking at any reputable institution in SADC.

For the past four years, the NFC has only funded third-year TV production students from the College of the Arts.

However, this year things are different, and local students can now choose to study courses including but not limited to pre-production, production, and post-production at any reliable institution in Southern Africa.
