The Carole Fielding Grant committee is excited to recognize four student projects for their achievement in student media production and research.

Footprints in the Sky (documentary short) by Octavio Daniel Rodriguez Juarez, SIU Carbondale.

Applicants must be an enrolled student at the time the application is made. A faculty member who is an active UFVA member must sponsor the applicant.
