Scholarships and Bursaries
Bradley Mark Johnston Memorial Scholarship
The Bradley Mark Johnston Scholarships: These scholarships are one year tuition awards for students entering year 2 or 3 of a diploma program.
Bradley Mark Johnston was a graduate of Max the Mutt Animation School; a talented artist and animator, a kind, generous, compassionate and caring young man who was a loyal and loving son, brother and fiancé.
In the early morning hours of January 9th, 2005 while visiting their grandmother in Parksville, British Columbia, Brad and his brother, Ian, were attacked. Brad died from his injuries 22 hours later.
Brad’s family has established this foundation in his memory, honouring his generous desire to support aspiring young artists. The mission of the Bradley Mark Johnston Educational Foundation is to assist deserving, talented young people by granting financial tuition assistance, thus enabling them to further their post-secondary education in Fine Arts and Animation, which they might not otherwise be able to pursue. The Foundation is a Registered Charity, recognized by the Canada Revenue Agency, and tax-deductible contributions can be made to the Foundation by both individuals and companies.
