Grants
$1500 GrantS
Studio 22 awards two $1500 Grants each year. These grants are a great place for students to make their first foray into filmmaking.
Studio 22 awards one $1500 Grant each fall and spring, each to be produced the following quarter.
The Bindley Grants
The Bindley family generously donates two $5000 grants each year. William Bindley graduated from Northwestern, and is now a film writer, producer, and director in Hollywood. He has worked for major studios including Warner Bros, HBO, and MGM.
The two Bindley Grants are typically given to highly ambitious projects. Studio 22 awards one Bindley Grant each fall and spring, each to be produced the following quarter.
The Max Saines Grant
Max Saines (RTVF 2013) was a beloved member of the Northwestern community and a proud Studio 22 alum. Max passed away in June of 2019 and is remembered by many for his work at Northwestern, Endeavor Content, and beyond. He fostered a spirit of collaboration by bringing people together to make their creative dreams a reality, and we hope to do the same with this grant. In his honor, this $5,000 grant will be offered yearly to a writer/director team with a shared vision for a unique narrative short film. This grant is made possible by Emily Gerson Saines (SOC 1986) and Andy Saines, Max’s parents.
Students pitch for the Max Saines Grant during fall quarter, and filming takes place during winter quarter.
The New student grant
Studio 22 awards one $1500 New Student Grant (NSG) annually, given only to freshmen or first-year transfer students. The NSG aims to be an educational process for those involved; the entire crew must also be comprised of freshmen and transfer students.
Freshmen and transfer students pitch for the NSG during winter quarter. Filming takes place during early spring quarter.
