Attendees of the Royal College of Art can now get a scholarship from The Pokemon Company. The Pokemon Company has established a "significant grant" to fund full scholarships to two second year MA students at the Royal College of Art in the United Kingdom. The Pokemon Scholarship will be awarded to students who demonstrate the potential for "breaking new ground with their creative forces in the visual arts, design and communication."

The Royal College of Art is the only post-graduate art and design college in the world and is located in London.
