Providing financial assistance through scholarships and grants has been a primary goal and mission of WIF.D since the beginning. In 2013, we offer two grants and a college scholarship (undergraduate or graduate).
The $2,500 College Tuition Scholarship is offered to a female college student studying film, television, or video production in the North Texas region. Scholarship is paid directly to the recipient's college.
Our Scholarship and Grant winners will be presented at the 2013 Chick Flicks Festival in October at the Angelika Film Center at Mockingbird Station.
