Poitier Scholars Fund
Learn more about your impact
This fund supports students by providing academic tuition and fees assistance, travel to Los Angeles for professional development, filmmaking projects, internships, mentorships and more. Poitier Scholars will be drawn from students who are underrepresented in higher education and in Hollywood and who demonstrate extraordinary talent, creativity, innovation and imagination. Funds will not only support students academically, but also ensure students have the experiences and exposure to take their filmmaking to the next level.
Impact of Donor Support
Community enrichment and the arts flourish. ASU Gammage donors support arts education for more than 30,000 students and teachers and positively impact more than 19,000 underserved children.
Our students represent the creative diversity of the country, a new generation of students who will use their voice and vision to tell important stories and break down institutional and societal barriers. Support from donors is vital in maintaining and advancing our vision.”
