Stonehill Media Studies Research Grant
The Media Studies Program awards several research grants to Â鶹ӰÊÓ students (except seniors) to cover the direct costs (e.g., travel, living expenses, equipment rental) of working on a media studies-related project, which could include a research paper, documentary film, performance, or other appropriate form of expression. The proposals will be evaluated on the originality of the research/project, its feasibility, and the clarity of the research/production plan. Grant recipients submit a written abstract for the annual September Conference Proceedings book and must make a public presentation of the results of their projects to faculty and students of the Media Studies program during the fall semester following the receipt of the grant.
The online application open and end dates will be provided to all Pomona faculty and students by email announcement.
The number and amount of grants will vary based on number of submissions and size of budget requests. In the past, grants have ranged from $500 to $3,500. The maximum grant would be $4,000.
Pomona Media Guild
On hiatus in Spring 2016: The Pomona Media Guild is a collaborative learning space which promotes a communal engagement with the tools necessary for the creation, documentation, and presentation of student projects, and practice alongside a digital filmmaker, Pomona’s visiting fellow in media praxis.
