Film scholarships

Augustana College awards scholarships each year to first-year and transfer students who participate in our film program. Film scholarships award up to $2,000 annually. To renew, students must take a film class every year. Students do not need to major or minor in film in order to qualify.

Note: Current Augustana students are not eligible to apply for new scholarships.

The scholarship requires an application, links to completed videos and an in-person or virtual interview. As part of their applications, students are asked to attach a résumé detailing their video/film works completed to date

Registration opens at the beginning of the school year. The final deadline for applications is March 15.
