Clip Studio Paint, the illustration, comic, webtoon, and animation app developed and distributed by Celsys, is proud to support the official NASMA initiative for Student Money Matters as the only official partner in the newly established Creative Tools Category. NASMA, National Association of Student Money Advisers, is a nonprofit organization that collaborates with the UK government's education and student support policies.
This partnership was established in response to a survey of UK university students (*1) conducted as part of this initiative, which revealed a high level of interest in the creative fields. Clip Studio Paint is the first official partner to be selected in the Creative Tools Category.
Through this initiative, Celsys aims to support the creative activities of over 2 million university students (*2) across the UK, while also raising awareness of Clip Studio Paint in the UK and other European regions and further promoting its adoption among young people.
Clip Studio Paint is available in 11 languages and is used worldwide, from beginners to professional creators. In addition, even among educational institutions, it is being introduced to schools focused in the creative field around the world.
