LearnFilm at NYFA Film School Scholarship

Legend has it that it was Steven Spielberg’s production company that made it possible for Hollywood director Brett to graduate film school by giving him a scholarship.   Now, the time has come to pay it forward.  The New York Film Academy is preparing to release dozens of new scholarship opportunities to future filmmakers and actors, due in large part to the overwhelming generosity of the now ultra-successful Ratner.  Students who demonstrate financial need will be eligible to receive up to $10,000 for the Academy’s one & two year conservatory programs, as well as it’s new Masters of Fine Arts Degree programs in Filmmaking, Acting, Producing and Screenwriting.  Applicants are required to show a credible need for financial assistance through documentation, as well as submit a Personal Statement explaining why they would like to attend the New York Film Academy. “We hope that these tuition grants will allow bright young filmmakers to fulfill the hopes and dreams that financial circumstance may have otherwise prevented,” said New York Film Academy founder Jerry Sherlock.  “We’re honored that Mr. Ratner chose us as the institution on which to bestow such a generous grant.” Ratner’s interest in the New York Film Academy was piqued in the early nineties, when his production company, Rat Productions, shared a building with the film school.  Since then, he has appeared numerous times as a guest speaker, and currently serves on the board of directors. Students interested in applying for the Brett Ratner Tuition Grant can obtain an application online, at NYFA.com.   Limited scholarships are available, and decisions will be based on merit and financial need.
