Script Angel is delighted to offer the Screenwriter Coaching Inclusion Scholarship to writers from backgrounds underrepresented in film and television, who have talent and professional ambition.
The scholarship will fund three months of coaching for one writer from a disadvantaged background, who otherwise couldn’t afford it, working on one developed script. This will take the form of three monthly video-call sessions with your coach to discuss your script and your development strategy.
Eligibility criteria?
The scholarship is open to anyone from an underrepresented background in the film and television industry. This may include your socioeconomic background, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability and illness or might include an underrepresented demographic, such as being from a traveller community or growing up in care.
You must be aged over 18 and a UK resident.
