Television is offering a $2,500 scholarship for a woman with a physical
disability who is studying film, television or communications in the
Tri-State area.
The funds may be used for tuition and fees for a college, university or
established training program in the moving image media or for production
costs for a student film or video project.
To apply for the scholarship, send a resume and a written 2-4-page
description of your current work and goals as a filmmaker. If funds will be
used for a film or video project, and a work-in-progress is available, a DVD
should be included.
