Deadline Nears for $1,000 Film Student Scholarshp & Awards Program for Montery County
The deadline is nearing for film students to apply for the Monterey County Film Commission's new Film Student Scholarship & Awards Program. A $1,000 award is offered, and applications must be returned by March 31, 2008.
Eligibility information and application forms may be downloaded at www.FilmMonterey.org, or contact the film commission office at 831-646-0910 or info@filmmonterey.org.
The $1,000 award (or two $500 awards) will be announced in May 2008.
The scholarship program was created to provide financial aid and incentive to students of film and beginning filmmakers who reside in Monterey County, or who are currently enrolled in a community college or university in the county. The fund was established as a permanent endowment with the Community Foundation for Monterey County.
''This program helps a film student work towards a career goal, and the funds can go directly to them to be used for Capstone or other film projects,'' said Phyllis Decker, chairperson of the film commission's scholarship committee. ''Establishing a film student scholarship program has been a long-time dream of all of us on the board of directors of the Monterey County Film Commission. With generous donations from the community, hard work from board members and guidance from the Community Foundation for Monterey County, this dream has become a reality.''
