The foundation is dedicated to identifying and assisting emerging artists in theater, dance, and film and awards grants to individual artists across the United States. Theater Awards take the form of scholarships, apprenticeships, and fellowships. Grants are awarded based on the quality of the emerging artists' past work, their potential for future excel- lence, and the impact the collaboration between the nominating organization and the artist will have on the individual's artistic growth. The Playwriting Award includes a residency at New Dramatists, Inc. Â in New York City. Individuals may submit an unproduced, unpublished full-length play for consideration. Dance Performance Awards take the form of scholarships and fel- lowships. Awards are based on the applicant's artistic merit, significance of the award to her/his current artistic develop- ment, and the potential for future excellence and impact on the field. Choreography Fellowships offer emerging choreographers the opportunity to create a new work with a company with which they have little experience. Some theater and dance companies who host apprenticeship and fellowship recipients receive an additional grant to be used for general operating expenses. Film Scholarships, awarded to both undergraduate and graduate students, are by invitation only. Universities, colleges, and schools are invited to submit applicants via their department chairs, deans, or professors. Film scholarships provide funding toward the filmmakers thesis film. A complete list of accepted schools is on the foundation's Web site. All Princess Grace Awards applicants must be U.S. citizens or have permanent resident status. In addition, all applicants (except playwriting) must be nominated by a nonprofit organization (school or company) with which they will be affiliated during the grant period.
