The Princess Grace Awards is a national program dedicated to identifying and assisting emerging artists in theater, dance, and film to realize their career goals by awarding grants in the form of scholarships, apprenticeships, and fellowships. The PGA awards the following: scholarships for theater and dance students, scholarship grants to support undergraduate or graduate thesis films, apprenticeships for theater artists at non-profit companies, fellowships to support choreographers at non-profit dance companies, and fellowship for an individual playwright at New Dramatists. Grant amounts generally range from $5,000 - $25,000. However, grant requests should be based on actual figures for annual salary (or artistic fee), tuition, or thesis project costs, whichever is applicable, and require substantiation (letter of verification from nominator). All grants (with the exception of the Statue Award and Special Project Grants) are given directly to the organizations, not the individual. Applicants may need to be nominated by the chair of their academic department.
