$1,000 Fine Films bursary award for film student

GRAVENHURST — Lights, camera … scholarship.

Students must apply by May 15 to be eligible.

Gravenhurst’s Fine Films committee is offering a $1,000 bursary to a current or former student of Gravenhurst High School who is pursuing film-related studies at the post-secondary level.

“We would like to express an enormous thank you to all of our sponsors, donors, film patrons, and committee members who have supported Fine Films during this first full year in our new venue.  Your enthusiastic support has allowed us to give back to the Gravenhurst community in this way,” they say.

FINE FILMS ARTS AWARD:

Fine Films is excited to award $1000 to a worthy post secondary Arts student who has continued beyond first year in an accredited Arts program. Our award is to be used to purchase needed supplies or equipment for this program.

All Arts students are encouraged to apply; however, preference will be given to those focusing on film production. Our objective is to encourage students who have shown dedication in the pursuit of their artistic goals.

Criteria:
a)   The student must attend or have recently attended Gravenhurst High School and have been involved in the Arts either in regular classes or in extracurricular activities at the high school.

b)   The final award will be decided by Fine Films representatives after an interview (virtual or in person), with the candidates. Emphasis will be placed on the candidate’s ability and need as evidenced in the interview and the supporting material brought to it.

c)    The award must be used to purchase needed supplies or equipment for an accredited Arts Program beyond the secondary school level.

d)   The award will be paid directly to the student at the commencement of the second year of the Arts Program.  It is understood that the money will not be awarded during the first year of the program. Receipts are necessary as proof of purchase but will not decrease the amount of the award.

  1. e)    Recipients will receive this award once only. Previous recipients may not apply.
  2. f)     Applications are available in the Student Services office at GHS or may be requested from [email protected]
