THE ANDREAS ZAHLER SCHOLARSHIP
FOR ADVANCED FILMMAKING STUDIES
Family, friends, and colleagues established this scholarship fund in the memory of renowned commercial film director Andreas Zahler.
The award of $750 contributes toward tuition for one of the required production courses (Cinematography II, Production Sound, Editing II with Avid or Final Cut Pro, Digital Video Production II, or Film Production II) for advanced students who have distinguished themselves in earlier courses and who need financial aid to continue their film production studies. The award is competitive and is based on demonstrated achievement in previous SCPS filmmaking courses and on financial need.
To be eligible for consideration, you must:
- Have successfully completed at least the level one component of the required production courses
- Submit two letters of recommendation, including one from the instructor of your most recent film production course
- Demonstrate financial need
- Not be the recipient of any other grant, scholarship, or tuition assistance (either from NYU, an outside agency, or your employer)
- Be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen
