The Cinder Scholarship offers grants of up to $4,000 for storytellers, both writers, and filmmakers who are pursuing high education degrees in Masters in Fine Arts and at the same time struggle with financial difficulties.
The award will be given to applicants who have demonstrated talent in their craft and a commitment to exploring themes of individuality, community, and innovation in their works.
