P.O.V. Scholarship

The Film and Video Arts Society of Alberta (FAVA) is offering film study scholarships to improve access.

Many people have talents that go unrecognized or under-utilized. Barriers to inclusion such as socio-economic status, ethnicity, gender, age, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, education and religion are varied and sometimes keep people from participating in and contributing to the arts.

If structural barriers and circumstances like these are preventing you from pursuing your filmmaking aspirations, FAVA’s P.O.V. Scholarship program might be a resource for you.

Scholarship includes:

• A free one-year FAVA membership
• Tuition fees for one of FAVA’s media arts programs

Deadlines: Applications for all Spring 2023 classes are due by January 24th, 2023, at 5pm. The classes you can apply for include:

• Intro to Digital Filmmaking (Feb 2023)
• Intro to Screenwriting (In-Person) (Feb 2023)
• Intro to Screenwriting (Online) (Mar 2023)
• Video Lab (Mar 2023)
• Script Lab (Apr 2023)

If P.O.V. is not right for you, but you are unable to cover the cost of the course upfront, you may be interested in a payment plan. Payment plans can be started at any time and are open year-round. Your payment installments will be based on the date of application to the second session of your desired class. You can pay as much or as little as you need to in each installment along the way. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please email our Programming Manager at [email protected] to discuss a payment plan option that will work best for you. Please indicate in your email your first and last name and your desired course.

*Please note that no refunds will be given if you decide not to continue with your course. Students may receive credit on file, which can be applied to future programming.
