The San Francisco/Northern California Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is committed to nurturing the next generation of industry professionals through its annual college scholarship competition.

Each year, we recognize the best and brightest student journalists, documentarians and filmmakers from our region with scholarships of $3,000 and $5,000 to help them on their educational journeys.

You are an important part of our mission as well. Here’s how you can help. Is there an intern who’s impressed you all summer and they’re returning to school in fall? Encourage them to apply. Is there a student who you have been mentoring? Encourage them to check out the scholarship program. Are you connected to any of our local universities or journalism or film programs? Help spread and amplify the message there as well.

At the risk of repeating ourselves, because we understand the pesky importance of a deadline, ours is fast approaching. Applications are due September 1, 2025.

Thank you for your help getting the word out!
