NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SAE Institute -- the school for creative media education, has announced the roll-out of three new scholarship programs to be implemented in the rich culture of the world renowned school.

The Vanguard Scholarship is SAE Institute's most prestigious scholarship. It is a merit-based scholarship that is presented annually to one outstanding applicant, who has shown superior creative aptitude, a rigorous work ethic, and an insatiable desire to succeed. The recipient will have the entire tuition amount paid on their behalf by the SAE Creative Media Scholarship Fund.

Tom Misner's Scholarship (Nashville Campus only) is a need-based scholarship that provides financial assistance to a prospective student who is both hard-working and passionate about creative media, but has limited financial means. The recipient will have one-quarter of their tuition costs paid on their behalf by the SAE Creative Media Scholarship Fund.

Sonum Perfectum Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship that provides a creatively-gifted prospective student with a chance to be rewarded for demonstrating an inherent ability and enthusiasm for audio.
