SCHOLARSHIP
Not only has the APA assured long-standing protection of its members’ interests, it works as a source of information across the audiovisual sector and ensures cultivation of the Czech audiovisual environment.
The APA promotes professionalism and education in the field of production by means of financial scholarships/subsidies for producers. The “Programme in support of the participation of producers in educational programmes” was created at the initiative of the producers themselves and has operated officially since 2013.
- Support is granted to producers for educational programs, workshops or courses that contribute to the development of production skills.
- The scholarship only covers the costs of the producer's course fees, not the costs associated with transport, accommodation or course fees for other team members.
- Scholarships are granted up to the value of 50% of a course fee, but up to a maximum value of EUR 1,000.
- The APA Board of Directors decides on the awarding of scholarships based on the application.
