The Robin Laing Scholarship, originally established by
WIFT Wellington, is an annual partnership
initiative between WIFT NZ and The Film School, Wellington.
Named for WIFT Wellington founder and leading New Zealand film
producer Robin Laing, the scholarship was set up to
provide financial assistance to female students at The Film School
who demonstrate the potential to be significant contributors to the
screen production industry.
The scholarship is granted annually to one (or more) female
students following an application and interview process.
Recipients receive up to $2000 to assist with study expenses and
one year's complimentary Friend membership of WIFT NZ.
An application call is issued early each year. Further
information is available from The Film School, or by contacting us.
