Mr. Bertolucci ,
Whether the amount be $10,000, $7,000, or even $5,000 your choice to help another person live their dream is beyond price it self.
Your gift comes at a crucial moment in our economy, and yet you still beget a true fantasy, a dream, a meaning in life to someone.
I anticipate this endowment meet the feet of someone that will relish and devour the very existence of this opportunity!
Thank you.
Best Regards, Jurema

Hello Sir,
All I can say is WoW! That is a wonderful what your doing. I am a young student looking to attend the New York Film Academy and in need of help. There are so many individuals with talent but does have the proper funds to attend a school that may be a change of a lifetime for them and I. I am doing research as well as searching for scholarships to attend this school. I hope I can be one the lucky ones!
God Bless

I hope that whomever receives the generous scholarship remembers to “pay it forward” as a mentor or financial benefactor. Remember also that when the opportunity arises it may or may not reveal itself through the film industry.

Hi thanks for the great job.
I am interested in attending the New York Film Academy and in need of help.I come from a region whose film and media industry is at an infancy stage and what ever training one get would be a life time opportunity that will have a lasting impact on human society.
I look forward to your support. I am particularly interested in using the knowledge I will get to use film as a therapy and witness in providing accountability to the long period of war my country and village where i come from.

I do have great faith next year i will be able, so help like thise are few in the world. Whoever wins this, will at least be helped a lot. We, specially Africans are in need of whatever help it can be, Please HELP US.

Well, I don’t know what’s measurable to say, but THANK YOU, SIR. Thanks for this dream-come-true grant to low income families.
This a challenge, an encouragemen to people out there. And I love challenges of such.
It’s my most humble wish to apply for the grant after my lost hope of been a Nyfa student again. When my Guardian told me at zero hour, he could not pay a $1000 advance required to reserve me a seat in the class for Jan 8, 2010. This, “due to lots of surrounded family responsibilities” he said.
And I pledge to follow our dear Sir. Bernardo’s good example after my degree in Nyfa.
I shall grateful to enjoy this.
NYFA is best!
