Fostering Opportunities for Underrepresented Students

The ‘FilmEU Scholarship Programme’ is a pilot programme designed to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion across the FilmEU University Consortium and further afield. This scholarship is an opportunity to empower students from underrepresented and marginalised communities, including those with diverse racial, ethnic, gender identities, abilities, and socio-economic backgrounds and countries currently in a state of conflict, for example Armenia, Ukraine, Lebanon and Syria.

FilmEU’s goal is to initially offer four scholarships in total to students that will commence their studies in the academic year 2025. The scholarships will apply to FilmEU’s joint educational Bachelor or Master programmes, these include Pathfinder our Joint International BA in Film or one of the Master of Arts programmes including Kino Eyes, DocNomads, RE:Anima, FilmMemory and REPLAY. As part of our pilot Programme, we will initiate this process by offering two scholarships for each of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Programmes FilmMemory and REPLAY. These scholarships will create a more inclusive academic environment by removing financial and other barriers and supporting less represented students in reaching their full educational potential.

The Scholarships will be advertised on the FilmMemory and REPLAY Programme websites.

These scholarships will allow students an exemption from programme tuition fees and provide a stipend of €1400 per month for 22 months. Under the European Commission Erasmus European University grant agreement, the University of Lusófona in Lisbon, as the lead institution for the FilmEU programme, received additional funding to offer these scholarships. Consequently, the University of Lusófona will oversee the processes and procedures related to student stipends.
