Each scholarship will include the cost of the workshop, and reasonable expenses for airfare, hotel accommodations, meals, and limited ground transportation
If you are interested in applying, please submit three copies of the following: a completed application form along with a resume that includes education and production experience; a letter of recommendation from a public television station or other public television programming partner (including the Minority Consortia, ITVS, etc.), production company, or industry professional; and one non-returnable VHS tape or DVD of recent work. (If the tape/DVD is a clips reel, a second full-length program may also be sent.).
The video provided should include work for which the applicant performed a significant role (ex: producer, director, writer, editor, associate producer); tapes must be cued to the beginning of the program or scene to be viewed.
Please include a brief narrative of your professional development goals within public broadcasting. Among the areas you may wish to address are general and long-range goals and how the Workshop might help you attain them, specific skill areas you hope to develop further in the Workshop, and projects you are currently planning or have in progress that might be aided by your participation in the Workshop.

Over a seven-day period, participants in the Producers Workshop will attend an intensive course that covers a range of production skills and draws on the expertise that has made PBS a recognized force on the American cultural landscape. The goal of the Producers Workshop is to encourage a diverse and talented group of producers who will create new and greater programming achievements in public broadcasting.
