Enhancing professionalization on campus and beyond

Generously funded by trustee Helmar Nielsen, the Eckerd College Film Studies program offers scholarships, film production grants, and fellowships to enhance professionalization on campus and beyond.

Nielsen Film and Media Production Grants

Nielsen Film and Media Production Grants support increasing student professionalization in film studies. Nielsen Film and Media Production Grants provide micro-funding for student film and other media production projects to students through a competitive application process. Students will compete for the grants by creating a pitch proposal, including a budget and a schedule for a film, video, or media project, to be submitted to a regional, national, or international film festival, including those held by Eckerd College.

First-year research associateships

First-year research associateships, such as programming the International Cinema Series, offer unprecedented opportunities for qualified first-year students to work closely with a faculty mentor on research projects.
