The Gotham Film & Media Institute has begun accepting applications for the fourth cycle of its Gotham EDU Film and Media Career Development Program, with submissions to close on April 4.This summer, the hybrid program will look to provide two cohorts of approximately 20 students with a working knowledge of the various sectors within the film and media industry.
During its six-week virtual component, students will attend interactive workshops, peer meetups and discussions, as well as one-on-one mentor sessions with industry professionals from across the media landscape, including screenwriters, showrunners, executives, producers, and distributors across the scripted and documentary film, TV and audio industries.While tuition for the program is $2,500, students are encouraged to apply for scholarships including The Questlove Gotham EDU Scholarship, announced by the Summer of Soul filmmaker at last year’s Gotham Awards, which will cover the cost of admission, while presenting other offerings integrated with iHeartMedia’s existing fellowship and internship programs.
The scholarships will be given to individuals who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color with special priority given to students who are currently attending Historic Black College & Universities.“There are so many talented young people who won’t reach their potential because they don’t know how to navigate the confusing and often exclusive media landscape.
This scholarship is all about providing pathways and guidance for their success,” said Questlove. “With the help of The Gotham Film & Media Institute and iHeartMedia, I know we will make a real difference in the careers and lives of young creators, particularly those from HBCUs.
