BIPOC Scholarship for Concept To Pages
Next application deadline: December 2, 2026 (for the Winter 2027 workshop starting on January 9, 2027)
PageCraft understands the importance of equity and representation not only in front of the camera, but among content creators. It matters who tells the stories.
This scholarship is designed to support BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) writers with financial need. Funded by PageCraft and the American Latino Theatre, it is intended to help writers participate in our 10-week Concept to Pages online workshop in order to create a new screenplay from the ground up. No fee is required to apply.
Our Concept to Pages workshop currently meets via Zoom on weekends. Usually limited to 9 writers, it provides a supportive space with plenty of individual attention. Scholarship recipients are expected to keep up with weekly homework assignments, ambitious writing targets, and to give and receive feedback in a healthy, collaborative environment. Thirty minutes of “office hour” support are available each week with the workshop leader. Read more about Concept to Pages HERE.

Important Notes
- Scholarships are considered on a rolling basis based on our Concept to Pages workshop schedule. The next deadline is listed at the top of this page. In the rare circumstance that we have insufficient enrollment to run a workshop, we will roll over any awarded scholarship to the next scheduled workshop.
- Scholarship recipients are expected to participate fully and to adhere to our Code of Conduct. PageCraft reserves the right to rescind scholarships in the case of non participation, if eligibility is in question, or in the case of abusive or unkind behavior toward others. If a recipient misses more than one session, we may presume that they are unable to participate fully and we may withdraw the scholarship so we can fund someone else. The recipient of the withdrawn scholarship can then choose to remain in the workshop at the regular rate (pro-rated for the remaining sessions), or sign up to for a future workshop. In the case of unavoidable emergencies, please consult with us.
- We may, in special circumstances, consider scholarship applications to our Writing Is Rewriting program.
