Course Overview
School of Motion's mission is to break down the barriers to learning, mastering, and working in Design and Animation. We partnered with Motion Forward and created a scholarship in an effort to remove the financial wall that stands between artists and their goals. By donating courses to the organization, we are able to help raise awareness about—and provide access to—career resources for historically underrepresented groups in the motion design industry.

What You'll Learn
What You'll Get
Join artists from around the world on our custom learning platform. Never learn alone, as you’ll have immediate access to a forum of fellow students to share work, ask questions, and improve together.
Each course comes packed with free project files, assets, and additional material to keep you learning and growing long after the course ends. Our exercises are designed from real world briefs, so you’re learning the skills you need to excel on your next project or venture.
You’ll be assigned a Teaching Assistant with years of experience in your chosen course. They’ll provide technical and creative feedback to guide you through new skills, improve your techniques, and provide encouragement along your journey.
Completing a course isn’t just about bragging rights. Once you’ve completed at least 70% of your work in a given course, you’ll earn a verified credential that can show current and future employers exactly what you’ve accomplished.
We all need a refresher now and again, which is why you’ll keep access to your course—and all the assets and project files—for the rest of your life. Come back to listen to exclusive interviews, review old lessons, and try out new techniques using your old assets.
You’ll gain instant access to our alumni platform, The Square. Here you can network with professional artists at every stage of their career. You’ll get access to new job opportunities and exclusive alumni events, such as meetups, virtual hangouts and reel reviews.

My scholarship application was accepted! But now I think the course I applied to is not the right fit. Can I change the course?
Unfortunately no. We have a limited number of scholarships for each course and select them all before reaching out. If you were notified your application was accepted, that means that all the course scholarships were already given out for that session. You can always apply to the course you think is a better fit the following application period!
