Gracie Awards Entry Scholarship

NCTA – The Internet and Television Association, in partnership with the AWM Foundation, is providing scholarships to individuals and companies to cover the cost of a Gracie Awards entry (limit of one entry scholarship awarded per person/company). These scholarships are intended to provide funding for content creators including, but not limited to, writers, directors, producers, on-air talent, and more, equal opportunity to be considered for recognition regardless of economic status.

Scholarships are available to students as well as professionals (post-college) and will be evaluated based on content planned to submit for consideration as well as need. Recipients will not be made public, so Gracies Judges evaluate all content submitted for consideration equally. Applications are due by 5pm ET on Friday, January 9, 2026, and recipients will be notified of status shortly after in order to move forward with completing an application in the Gracie Awards software program by 11:59pm ET on Thursday, January 22, 2026.
