What makes IIFA unique in India is its educational partnerships - the first with the Royal Drawing School (President HRH The Prince of Wales), the second with the University of the Arts London (UAL) and the third with the Zurich University of the Arts. Both the Royal Drawing School and the University of the Arts are funded by Arts for India to send teachers and students to IIFA to help raise educa
tional standards. The Zurich University of the Arts is working with IIFA to develop and international design centre. Arts for India also supports a Four Year Scholarship Programme which funds the most talented students through IIFA when their financial position would make it impossible for them to follow an education in the creative industries. The long term ambition for Arts for India is to convert IIFA into the first fine arts university in India built to global standards. A new 175 acre campus with a performing arts centre and international museum will be constructed near to the existing campus, designed by the Prince's Foundation for Building Community and Porphyrious Associates. Arts for India is a UK-registered charity and is registered in the US with CAF America for tax-efficient giving.
