Funding for international MFA students at UCLA, USC, NYU, Columbia or CSUN?

[Ceciliewsc]

Hi everyone,

I’m a prospective international applicant from Denmark planning to apply for Fall 2027 MFA programs in producing and/or screenwriting at UCLA, USC, NYU, Columbia and CSUN.

Has anyone here received funding as an international student at any of these schools? I would especially love to hear about the approximate scholarship amount, whether you were automatically considered, and whether assistantships or tuition remission were available.

I am also researching Fulbright and Danish foundations, but I’m trying to get a realistic idea of how much institutional support international MFA students actually receive.

Any experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated!

If you're interested in an MFA in Television Writing, we at Stony Brook Manhattan offer generous international scholarships. We're partnered with Killer Films. Also, have worked with Rumel Hammerich who used to run the Danish Royal Film School and a big fan of Danish series. You can see more at www.stonybrook.edu/tv
