The funds are sent directly to the recipients’ educational institutions to help cover the costs of tuition or registration fees. Students from any country may apply.

As we have come to embrace that home movies are as important as theatrical releases, and that digital is a valid form of preservation, the archives field has grown by listening to such new ideas. By opening our community, we open our hearts and minds to a more diverse view of the world. A conversation inclusive of many voices helps us bridge communities and develop as individuals. The goal of this scholarship is to encourage participation in our community from voices that, for any number of reasons, may not have been heard, so that each of us and the Association of Moving Image Archivist (AMIA) may grow through Broadening Perspectives.
Founded in 2022, this $4,000 scholarship is flexible in its structure, with a minimum of $3,000 applied to tuition, and the option to apply $1,000 towards travel to the AMIA annual conference.
