5 minutes read
Hey sis,
I am so excited to announce Sisterly HQ’s partnership with the KAP Film and Television Academy to you. The academy is offering scholarships to Nigerian women within and outside our community. Typically, this virtual course costs N25,000. But because of this partnership, you get it for free! Mind-blowing, right?
To claim your scholarship, visit: apply.kap.academy. Click on Register and fill in your details. Once you’ve done this, you will be admitted on scholarship and will receive your admission letter via email. Then, you can begin the course. This is so exciting, sis! And I hope you take advantage of this opportunity before it closes. Don’t forget to share with your friends.
Yesterday, we chatted with Ruby Akubueze and Aisha Alabi, stars of the KAP Motion Pictures and Netflix film, IJOGBON about the impact and importance of women in Nigeria’s film industry. Watch the replay here.
A snapshot of this week’s letter
Scholarships in filmmaking for Nigerian women.
A hybrid role paying N200K per month.
We found two undergraduate scholarships for our sis.
This is what ghosting feels like.
