After launching their inaugural Reconciliation Action Plan earlier this year, Hoyts have partnered with one of the country's leading film schools to invest in a future First Nations creative behind the screen.

The major cinema chain will front the full tuition fee of a standard three-year Bachelor of Arts - Production course at Sydney's Australian Film and Television Radio School (AFTRS) with their First Nations Scholarship.

The opportunity covers the 2025 valuation of $50,000 dollars with additional funds to support the student and their family to attend graduation ceremonies.

In February, Hoyts chief executive Damian Keogh said the company's Reflect RAP presented the opportunity "to build upon our existing initiatives and to signal our commitment to building relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander associations, businesses and Peoples, and increasing understanding and respect for traditional cultures".

On announcing the scholarship, chief people officer Jodi Paton said Hoyts are proud to be behind a First Nations student enrolling at AFTRS.

"This partnership with AFTRS recognises our shared values in bringing the very fabric of Australian storytelling to life, and the role of ensuring a First Nations narrative remains central to the arts," Ms Paton said.

The school has previously partnered with Netflix to support the next generation of Indigenous creators and storytellers, amongst additional scholarships offered.

"AFTRS is committed to providing opportunities for First Nations Australians from across the country to study at the School and reach their creative potential in the screen and broadcast sectors," Girramay and Bandjin man and AFTRS' Director of First Nations and Outreach Peter Noble said.

"We work closely with industry to provide these opportunities, and we are grateful to Hoyts for this new scholarship and their support.

"The previously announced Netflix First Nations Scholarships sees three First Nations students studying full time this year at AFTRS in the Masters program.

"The School is also committed to embedding First Nations values within AFTRS through co-design, co-determination, and collaboration, and I am proud to bring my leadership to this vital work."

Applications for the Hoyts Group First Nations Scholarship at AFTRS are currently open.
