Please be aware that you must be a TMA major or minor to apply for funds.
Grant funds should be applied for and used before the next application period begins (For example: if you are going to a conference in March, you should apply in the winter period)
Application due dates are as follows:
Winter: January 31
Spring/Summer: March 31
Fall: September 30
Applications received after the due date will be reviewed in the next application period.
Student Grant applications can include proposals for the following:
- Internships
- Auditions
- Graduate School application fees or interviews
- Conferences
- Workshops
- Study Abroad programs outside of TMA
- Projects that are part of a BYU thesis or capstone outside of TMA (i.e. Honors, Global Women Studies, etc.)
- Other professional development opportunities*
*Additional information or justification of a proposal may be requested for proposals that fall under this category.
Since funds are limited, there is intense competition. It will be the responsibility of the faculty mentors, department areas, and the TMA Executive Committee to judge the relative merit of all applications.
Note: Receiving grant funds does not entitle the student to use TMA/BYU resources (i.e. equipment, rooms, theatres, insurance etc.)
Please be aware that grants DO NOT cover the following:
- Film Equipment
- Food
- Personal supplies (i.e. headshot printing, conference supplies, etc)
- Cost of living while in Provo or the nearby areas of Utah

- Graduate school campus tours
- Graduate exams and prep classes (i.e. GRE, GMAT, etc.)
The maximum amount a student can receive for this grant is $2000. The final grant amounts are determined by the number of applications approved and the number of funds available.
