The Film School offers a number of departmental assistantships, as well as the Blockbuster Fellowship. You may apply for all assistantships/fellowships available by indicating on your Film School application that you wish to be considered for assistance and including a letter concerning your financial need.

Check the appropriate box on your Film School MFA Application and include a letter outlining your financial need.

Due to the length of time our Admissions Committee spends in review of the applications, invitations to enroll are issued several months after University deadlines for these University-Wide fellowships and assistants. The program will submit applications for eligible 2nd year students in January of their first year of enrollment.

The Academic Common Market is an interstate agreement among southern states for sharing academic programs. Participating states enable their residents who qualify for admission to enroll in other states on an in-state tuition basis. If you are a resident of AL, AR, DE, GA, KY, LA, MD, MS, OK, SC, TN, VA, WV after you are accepted to the Film School, we’ll give you the name of the contact person in your state so you can begin to apply.

Our program is a very intensive, collaborative, hands-on filmmaking experience, during which you work not only on your own films, but on your classmates' films, while taking screenwriting courses. Thirteen hour days tend to be the standard and weekends are solely for filmmaking. Holding a job just doesn’t work.

Only if you are awarded a graduate assistantship or if you purchase property, marry someone from FL, or do something to convince the Registrar that you will be a permanent resident of the state and are not here just for educational purposes.
