MAGIC Student Scholarship Fund
Created in 2025 by students, for students; this initiative celebrates the 10-year anniversary of MAGIC. Throughout the academic year, a series of special events will be hosted to honor this milestone and bring the MAGIC community together. Proceeds from these events will directly support a new Student Scholarship Fund, designed to help future creators pursue their education in animation, gaming, and immersive technologies at the MAGIC program. By celebrating a decade of innovation, storytelling, and student success, this effort ensures the next generation has the opportunity to continue building on the legacy of MAGIC.
During the upcoming Spring 2026 term, the MAGIC department will have three fundraising events, with proceeds benefiting the MAGIC Scholarship Fund. Donate $5 to attend and participate in the following events coming up in the next weeks:
