Netflix Postgraduate Scholarship Programme for South Africans 2022

There are more than 209 million Netflix subscribers in over 190 countries who enjoy TV shows, documentaries, and feature films in a broad range of genres and languages on Netflix. Members get unlimited access to watch as much as they want, whenever they want, from any screen that is connected to the internet. With no ads or obligations, members have complete control over how they watch their favourite shows.

Netflix declared their support for the South African creative ecosystem in favour of Black inclusion in the film and television business in early 2021. It has made a commitment to provide complete post-graduate scholarships at South African universities to assist budding Black filmmakers and television producers in their official certification and training.

According to Netflix, Tshikululu Social Investments, a management and consulting company for social investment funds, has collaborated with the streaming service as an implementation partner/fund administrator.

The Scholarship aims to promote the formal qualification and training of young Black creatives in the cinema and television disciplines by providing financial help via full scholarships at partner higher educational institutions in South Africa, as mentioned below.
