Having the backing of an organisation such as BAFTA is incredible

Rory said: “It’s simply amazing to be accepted onto the scholarship programme. It really means the world to me and I am very excited to get started on the course.  Having the backing of an organisation such as BAFTA is incredible, especially the mentorship part of the programme, while the finances allow me to focus fully on the course and make the most of my opportunities. Being recognised by BAFTA is also a great vote of confidence in my sound design abilities and I look forward to seeing what the future brings!”
