Common Grants - Online Application
Film Study Center
Harvard fellowships provide funding and technical resources for people doing compelling work in video, film, sound or photography. The fellowships are open to Harvard faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral and research fellows. Fellowships are made annually, for an academic year's tenure.
Fellowship awards are intended to help defray production or postproduction expenses, and typically range between $1,000 and $5,000. During the fellowship year, fellows are part of a community of makers, and participate in monthly gatherings where works in progress are shared and discussed. Application information, with a link to the new online portion of the application, is available on the Film Study Center website.
