The bursary, in partnership with The Animation School, offers a full scholarship to one student for one year of study. Thanks to this bursary, Solomon is able to complete the third and final year of his animation studies this year. The bursary also offers Solomon an internship position at the company during his school holidays.

“The Animation School welcomes Sunrise Productions for this valuable initiative. Opportunities of this kind are clearly in line with the transformation goals of South Africa and we hope this inspires more employers to take action and support the next generation with education opportunities,” says Nuno Martins, principal of The Animation School.

Sunrise Productions CEO, Phil Cunningham, adds: “As a company, we value fresh, South African talent and we are delighted Tyler will join us during his holidays and further his skills and experience in animation.”
