Congratulations 2024-2025 Scholarship Recipients!
Cinematic Arts Scholarship Recipients 2024-2025
Each year, as a result of our generous College of the Arts and Cinematic Arts donors, we award scholarships to a group of our student filmmakers for the upcoming fall and spring semester. We are fortunate to have the support of individuals and organizations such as , Fine Arts Affiliates, Dramatic Allied Arts Guild, and individual donors. Please join us in celebrating and congratulating our 2024-2025 scholarship recipients!
