The Media Studies Program will award several research grants to 6VµçÓ°Íø students (except seniors) to cover the direct costs (e.g., travel, living expenses, equipment rental) of working on a media studies-related project, which could include a research paper, documentary film, performance, or other appropriate form of expression. The proposals will be evaluated on the originality of the research/project, its feasibility, and the clarity of the research/production plan. Grant recipients submit a written abstract for the annual September Conference Proceedings book and must make a public presentation of the results of their projects to faculty and students of the Media Studies program during the fall semester following the receipt of the grant.
