AFI Fellows 2009

[Kretze]

Hi FAAA!
I know that most of the scholarships ar for Fall 2010, and that is why I am so worried. I wanted to try with Caixa Galicia, in fact I presented my application form, but I recieved an email form them telling that my specialization (a Master of Fine Arts in Screenwriting) was not among the categories that they award with the scholarship.
It is quite weird because there has been a lot of people who has studied arts or artistic disciplines that has told me to aplly for these scholarships.

But hey, thanks anyway!

What is your specialization?

Good luck!!

Hello Everyone.
Guy here, from Canada, Cinematography fellow 2009. As with all of you, I am dealing with the usual paperwork, funding, housing requirements.

I am trying to catch up on the boards here.

In the meantime, congratulations to all of the other fellows. Hope we can get all of this figured out.

I was thinking when I got that acceptance email that it could be mistake. I can't believe this happened. I feel so bad for these students..

 

[Filipe]

Man, that's awful! This is one's biggest fear. Together with being burried alive, I guess...

 

[Filipe]

Do you guys have facebook?

Hey guys. I saw that the 2008 AFI fellows created a group on facebook ahead of their arrival on campus and I've done the same thing for 2009:

Hey great idea! I'll see you guys there!

 

[ProfUnrath]

Sounds good, Jake; thanks for doing that.

 

[Lulu]

Hey guys! My name is Lulu and I will be attending AFi for the 2009 fall class as a Production fellow. I am so excited to meet everyone and make the creative connections. I am actually from L.A., but have been living in Miami for the past 2 years... so for any of you who will need a little showing around I can help you!

 

[carhyu]

Hey Lulu! Can't wait to meet you all!

Hey Filipe, did you make your choice between AFI and USC yet??

Thanks for opening up that FB group! If any of you are lookign for housing with another incoming AFI student, there's a questionnaire being circulated until July 31st. I can email it to you!

 

[Lulu]

Does anyone know about how long it takes to hear back from AFI if you have filled out a FASFA?
Thanks!

 

[Filipe]

Hey Carhyu,

I haven't been accepted to USC (yet?), so no choice to make so far. But at this point, I'm 90% sure I'm going to AFI.

 

[carhyu]

Yay Filipe! I hope you come to AFI =D

I'm still waiting for that financial aid letter. But it should be sent out soon.

 

[Faaa]

Hola

I will attending cinematography!Have you tried La Caixa, Fulbright, Caja Madrid?You may find also some links on AFI website about grants for international students...
With your acceptance in your hand should be easier to get a scholarship!

About Caixa Galicia I guess they ignore film is an art..I know people who didn´t get it and they all were filmmaking fellows
Good luck
