The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation, in association with Ernst & Young LLP, is offering three (3) scholarships in honor of Fred Rogers, the creator and long-time host of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
The scholarships are intended to support and encourage aspiring undergraduate and graduate students to pursue careers in children’s media and further the values and principles of Fred Rogers’ work.
The mission of the foundation is to reduce poverty and injustice and promote democratic values, international cooperation and human achievement. Grants are made in three broad programs: Asset Building and Community Development; Peace and Social Justice; and Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom. We are eager to discover and explore innovative ways to solve problems and welcome fresh thinking in the broad areas in which we make grants. To focus our work in the United States, we make grants and loans in 13 key fields: Arts and Culture; Civil Society; Community Development; Development Finance and Economic Security; Education and Scholarship; Environment and Development; Governance; HIV/AIDS; Human Rights; Media; Religion, Society and Culture; Sexuality and Reproductive Health; and Workforce Development. Not all of our regional offices work in every field. Each year the Ford Foundation receives about 44,000 proposals and makes some 2,000 grants. Applications are considered throughout the year. Normally applicants may expect to receive within six weeks an indication of whether their proposals are within the foundation's program interests and budget limitations. DUE: Applications are considered throughout the year
The Pay it Forward Foundation offers students the opportunity to identify what they consider to be the challenges of their communities. They tackle such problems as homelessness, pollution, youth violence, literacy issues, the loneliness experienced by long-term hospital and nursing home patients, and the alienation of today's at-risk youth from the community. The Pay It Forward Foundation provides seed money for such worthwhile projects.
Your school, church or community youth group may apply for this $500 mini-grant to fund a one time project with a Pay It Forward focus. Applications will be accepted anytime by email to grants@payitforwardfoundation.com.
