Hey guys! I have been looking at MFA Production Design courses in numerous film schools across the world. I was planning to apply to NFTS for Sept 2024 but unfortunately they do not have scholarships for international students, so I have been looking at other film schools such as AFI, AFTRS and uni melbourne. Does anybody know a good film school that also provides a good scholarship amount for international students. If you have already been admitted with a full scholarship, please do respond with suggestions on how to be able to achieve that.

I see a lot of discussions about directing, producing and other programs but I think there are very less schools that have a good production design MFA course. It would be wonderful to gain insights about your experiences and your insights. If you did get into AFI production design, please do suggest how you managed the tuition fee.
 
There is the University of Maryland (MFA in Design) and Northwestern University (MFA in Stage Design), both full-funding/tuition waivers and stipends.

I don't know how good both programs are but do know Northwestern University is reputable. Also, both aren't Films but Theatre.
