Augustana College awards scholarships each year to first-year and transfer students who participate in our film program. To renew, students must take a film class every year. Students do not need to major or minor in film in order to qualify.
Note: Current Augustana students are not eligible to apply for new scholarships.
The scholarship requires an application, links to completed videos and an in-person or virtual interview. As part of their applications, students are asked to attach a résumé detailing their video/film works completed to date
Registration opens at the beginning of the school year. The final deadline for applications is March 15.

Film/theatre performance double major Emma Watts ’25 is producing a short documentary about the radium girls, a group of factory workers who ingested potentially deadly amounts of radium while working at the Radium Dial Company in Ottawa, Ill., in the 1920s and 1930s.
The event will include screenings of Harts’ award-winning short films “Be True to Your School” and “Two Wongs."
Augustana's fall Symposium Day 2024 invited big ideas from any and all disciplines, welcoming presentations from students, faculty and staff, and distinguished guests — including keynote speaker Dr. Roosevelt Montás from Columbia University and Dr. Chris Hedlin '11 from the University of Notre Dame.
