The Professional Development Fund is a remarkable opportunity designed to provide financial assistance to individuals working in the screen sector. Whether you’re a filmmaker, producer, screenwriter, or involved in any other aspect of screen production, this fund aims to empower you to take your skills and expertise to the next level.

Priority will be given to:

• Developments in areas of skills shortages and
• Applicants are under-represented in the screen industries.

Eligibility

Under-Represented Groups

• Screen Scotland will prioritize applications from those who are underrepresented in our current funding programs. Current evidence indicates that these under-represented people are those who self-identify as disabled, those who come from Black and Minority Ethnic cultural backgrounds, and those who are women or have other gender-nonconforming identities. There have been several gender-focussed studies that indicate a particular under-representation of women in areas of Directing, Camera, Post-Production, and VFX.
• Whilst Screen Scotland wishes to continue to support creative and developmental practice, we cannot accept avoidable or unmanaged risk to health and safety and our funding approach will be cautious in this regard. Applications should ensure that relevant Scottish Government guidance is being followed, and appropriate risk plans are in place and included with your application.

International travel

• Applications to the Professional Development Fund can once again include travel, both UK and international, as long as Scottish Government advice is being followed (including any guidance on, or emanating from, the particular international locations you are planning to work in/ travel to) and appropriate risk management plans are in place and included with your application.
• As regulations are changing frequently, please check the Scottish Government website at the time of applying and be aware this guidance may have altered by the time your application is being considered. The assessing officer and Director of Screen will have to take decisions based on the Scottish Government guidance current on that day.
• Screen Scotland cannot be liable for any further costs incurred beyond those agreed in the grant award, including any costs incurred as a result of further COVID impact and/ or change in Scottish or other government regulations before or during the term of the project. If the funded activity becomes unviable as a result of changes to government guidance Screen Scotland reserves the right to recoup all or an element of the funding.
• For the avoidance of doubt, Government guidance takes precedence over any statement by Screen Scotland.

Eligibility

All expenses (other than per diems and mileage) require an itemized receipt to be eligible for reimbursement. Expenses accrued above the combined departmental and Office of Research award limit will not be reimbursed. If the full award is not used for approved and documented expenses, the remaining combined award will be returned 1:1 to the Office of Research and the department.

Awarded students and their departments are required to submit all documentation for reimbursement within 60 days of the conference start date to receive a reimbursement from the Office of Research.

Event Eligibility

The Office of Research Travel Award has designated this fund to support students in the presentation of their research or creative inquiry at a professional event. In many disciplines, this takes place as a poster or oral presentation at a professional conference; in the arts, this can be a performance or exhibit. The event that you intend to present at will be verified by the department matching your funds as legitimate before your application is considered for this award.

Students must be confirmed as presenters (or performers/exhibitors) at the professional event and must provide proof of acceptance in their application. Typically, students are notified by email that they have been accepted to present or perform and such an email would qualify as proof of acceptance. Similarly, being listed in a conference program would be acceptable as proof of acceptance to present.

Students that travel to a conference as an attendee will not be considered for this award but may be able to secure departmental or college funds to do so. If you would like to attend a conference but will not present, please discuss this with your mentor or department.

Student Eligibility

Students are eligible if they meet the following requirements:

• They are a current, USU-registered student, on the Logan campus, in any distance education location, or online.
  • Distance education and online students may apply for funding to travel to the USU Logan Campus for conferences and events if all other eligibility requirements are met.
• They are undergraduate students and have not yet graduated at the time of the application submission.
  • If a graduating senior apply before graduation to attend a summer event, they are eligible at the discretion of the department agreeing to match funding.
  • Students enrolled in 2-year or certificate programs at an undergraduate level are eligible.

Only one travel award per presentation will be funded. For groups where multiple undergraduates are co-authors, they may work with their department to share travel funding. Otherwise, only the first student that applies will be eligible for the UR Travel Award. This does not affect students presenting, performing, or exhibiting different works at the same conference.

Students may only receive this award once per fiscal year (running July 1 to June 30) and are limited to two travel awards throughout their undergraduate degree. Undergraduate Travel Awards do not affect eligibility for students to apply for the School of Graduate Studies Travel Award if they remain at USU for graduate programs.
