The Gotham Film & Media Institute today named those chosen for its scholarships, as part of this summer’s Gotham Edu Career Development Program.
The Gotham’s scholarships will empower young people from underrepresented groups in media to expand upon skills learned in the classroom and apply them practically as they look toward careers in media and entertainment. The first is the Questlove Gotham Edu Scholarship, supported by iHeartMedia, which will allow Bipoc undergraduate students with an interest in storytelling through audio to attend the Career Development Program tuition-free.
Then, there are the MTV Entertainment Group Joel Schumacher and Sophia Cranshaw Scholarships, now in their second year, which enable undergraduate members of Bipoc communities and those who identify as LGBTQ+ to attend the program at no cost. In addition to tuition coverage, Schumacher/Cranshaw scholars are enrolled within MTV’s Ambassador’s program, which includes a paid internship opportunity.
