Post Graduate Bursary - SW Screen

Do you aspire to a career in film, TV or digital media? If you’re a student or recent graduate looking to gain the qualifications to break into this competitive industry, we are offering an industry-backed Post Graduate Bursary to contribute to the cost of your further study.

Three awards will be made, each of £3,000, with a panel of senior industry members selecting the three award winners. The aim is to provide financial support to post graduate students, for whom the cost of continuing studies might provide a barrier to taking up a post graduate level vocational course. Talent, motivation and a well thought out career path are the main criteria. Applicants must be looking to attend a post graduate course with Skillset accreditation and/or industry approval. All relevant subject strands are eligible, there are, however, skills areas which the Bursary Fund has prioritised: script writing/ screen writing, film and television production, CGI and animation.

How to Apply

To apply, you must have been based in the South West for the last two years, but the actual course can be anywhere in the UK. You can apply online HERE. Please ensure your read the guidelines before submitting your application.
