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 the maximum of $5000. 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. In addition to supporting SD and HD video work, the FSC continues to support 16mm film production, with both regular and Super 16 cameras and Steenbeck editing flatbeds available to fellows. Application information, with a link to the new online portion of the application, is available on the Film Study Center website.

The deadline falls two weeks after the first day of Spring semester classes, though most will complete their application over the January break.
