Paid screenwriting fellowships & grants

8 fellowships, labs and grants that pay the writers they select, or cover their costs, sorted by next deadline. 7 list a cash stipend, grant or award, from $7,500 up to $35,000; each card quotes the award as the organizer describes it, and amounts can be per writer or shared, so check the official page. 2 are free to apply to. 5 have confirmed upcoming dates; the others are listed as TBA until the next cycle opens. Most expect a writing sample plus a statement or interview, and some limit applicants by earnings, background or location.
