William Rubensohn Foundation NAISDA Scholarship

The William Rubensohn Foundation NAISDA Scholarship awards two scholarships each year to deserving students studying during their first year at NAISDA.

The scholarship is designed to help alleviate the stress and anxiety during the first year of study at NAISDA.

It is intended to assist students who might not have otherwise been able to take up an offer of a place at NAISDA without this financial help.
