Aparna, a student of United World College, Pune, has got an annual scholarship of $56,000 from Ringling College of Art and Design which is the only institution to provide full scholarship to pursue the four year course.

She would not have dreamt in the rarest of all her dreams of studying at Ringling College of Art and Design, Florida in the US., one of the best schools for film-making, to pursue a four-year Undergraduate Course in Digital Film-making with a full scholarship of 1.2 crore

Daughter of a former photo journalist Kolluru Venkat from Vijayawada, she completed her International Baccalaureate at Pune and chose Film Studies as one of the electives.

A 'portfolio' comprising photographs, short films and a 7-minute film Mad World helped her to earn the seat.

Earlier, she had earned an Rs.18 lakh scholarship even at the UWC Pune to pursue the Baccalaureate.

The scholarship amount comes from the UWC and U.S.-based Davis Scholarship. She got a seat also in the School of Art Institute, Chicago, considered the second best in the world for film-making, but only got a partial scholarship, so chose to join Ringling from August 12.
