ESCAC once again collaborates with Netflix and its Fund for Inclusive Creativity

ESCAC (Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya) has once again been selected by Netflix to take part in its training grant programme for film and audiovisual studies through the ESCAC-Netflix screenwriting scholarship.

ESCAC is offering, with the support of Netflix Spain’s Fund for Inclusive Creativity, two scholarships for the Master’s in Screenwriting for the 2023-2024 academic year.

These scholarships are designed to promote the careers of people belonging to minorities or social groups that, due to systemic issues, are underrepresented in the Spanish audiovisual sector. The aim of these scholarships is to promote creative equity and encourage the presence of people with diversity in terms of culture, sexual orientation and gender, and/or disability, both in front of and behind the camera.

The ESCAC-Netflix scholarship offers the opportunity to take the Master’s in Screenwriting, taught by one of the country’s most prestigious film schools. To this end, two scholarships are offered, covering tuition and enrolment fees, as well as providing financial assistance for accommodation and living costs during the programme, the purchase of computer and technological equipment, and the cost of the initial and return journeys to Terrassa (where ESCAC is based) from the applicant’s home.

The call guidelines and frequently asked questions are available on the Scholarships page or the Master’s in Screenwriting page.

Interested applicants can submit their application for one of the two scholarships for the 2023-24 academic year using the application form, which will be available in the Scholarships section of our website from 1 April. After passing the initial stages of the selection process, applicants will have a final interview with the scholarship committee, made up of representatives from Netflix and ESCAC. The committee will select the two recipients of the screenwriting scholarship, who will be announced on 16 June.
