Summit Scholarships

We are committed to bringing different viewpoints to the table in order to creatively engage new audiences to protect and restore our natural world. Two scholarship programs were created to provide financial support and mentorship for filmmakers who will help us diversify our community with regard to race, gender, culture, socioeconomics, geography, and domain knowledge.​

Applicant Criteria

Jackson Wild will be accepting applications for two separate scholarship programs, one for Emerging Filmmakers and the other for Established Filmmakers:

1) Jackson Wild Scholarships will be granted to emerging filmmakers who represent historically underrepresented people and perspectives. We are looking for:
  • A strong interest in science and nature communication as demonstrated by your films, interests, publications, activities, and/or coursework.
Secondary consideration include the aspects below:
  • The potential to contribute to the field in developing films, stories, photographs, articles, or other real-world applications.

Scholarship amounts will range from $1,000 to $2,500 and may include financial support for a Summit pass and/or a modest travel/lodging stipend.

Applicants will be considered based on the criteria below:
  • Gender
  • Race and Ethnicity
  • Socioeconomic background
  • Geographic origin
  • Educational Experience
  • Disability

2) Vulcan Visiting World Filmmakers. In collaboration with Jackson Wild, Vulcan Productions plans to sponsor established environmental and conservation filmmakers to attend this year’s Summit. Filmmakers will be considered from Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, or India who are telling stories about their homeland’s environmental and conservation challenges. Successful candidates will have had at least one film of notoriety released in their home region.
Four winners will be provided with travel to Jackson Hole, WY; five nights lodging; Summit passes; and an allowance for food during the visit. These Visiting World Filmmakers will be given opportunities to participate in various panels, excursions, and events throughout the week as well as network and connect with like-minded individuals.

Applicants will be considered based on the criteria below:
  • Race and ethnicity
  • Geographic origin
  • Samples of previous work
  • Ability to travel to the United States

Application Process

Applications are due by July 19, 2019.
Applicants will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and will be notified by August 2, 2019.
