For the past six years, AIE and Sony Foundation Australia have offered the Interactive Technology Scholarship for Certificate IV in Screen/Certificate IV in 3D Animation for Games and Film students.

The Sony Foundation Australia scholarship enables talented students to further their studies in the Advanced Diploma of Professional Game Development (Animation) through providing subsidised course fees up to the value of $6000. Applicants from 1st year students are invited in September each year, with applicants going through a rigorous selection process involveing interviews with professional game developers and representatives of Sony.

Previous winners of the Sony Foundation Scholarship include Jessica Brett, 2006, who completed the (then) Diploma of Professional Game Development before joining Redtribe Studios as a Character Artist, Georgia Patten (2005) who now works with leading game developer, Big Ant Studios and AIE's own Allan Geddes, 2005, who joined the Royal Australian Navy Computer Modelling Group before returning to teach at AIE.

The Interactive Technology Scholarship is offered each year with thanks to the Sony Foundation Australia.
