I am so excited to announce that the Actuality Abroad scholarship fund has been reinstated and we now have five (5) $1000 scholarships to award. Would you be willing to share this information with your students so they can find out about the opportunity? Below are sharable details about the Documentary Outreach international service-learning trips we lead + the new scholarship funding we have available.
We are entirely word-of-mouth so we really appreciate any effort to increase awareness.

Documentary Outreach Program Information
The Documentary Outreach is a month-long travel course with a focus on nonfiction mediamaking that is collaborative and impact-driven. Students learn how to produce a short documentary film entirely on location while telling stories about local changemakers. In 2023, we are leading Documentary Outreaches in Guatemala (June/July) and Ghana (July/August). Students can choose to earn internship or independent study credit through participation in the trip.
