Previous Sloan Foundation Grant Winners

The goal of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation film school program is to influence the next generation of filmmakers to create more realistic and dramatic stories about science and technology and to challenge existing stereotypes about scientists and engineers through the visual media.  This innovative program awards prizes at six leading film schools:  American Film Institute; UCLA School of Theater, Film, and Television; Carnegie Mellon University School of Dram; Columbia University Film Department; NYU Tisch School of the Arts; and USC School of Cinematic Arts.
