The WIFT NZ 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 NZ film producer

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.
