Jason Schoenagle Scholarship
(Summer semester, FMA students only)

Jason Schoenagle
 
Temple's undergraduate program enabled Jason Schoenagle  to develop the creative and technical skills needed to pursue his interest in film, and soon after graduation he moved to Los Angeles to start his career. He found employment quickly in a competitive industry and advanced at a fast pace, receiving high praise and accolades from his supervisors and colleagues.  
 
Jason created a huge network of colleagues and friends and was very enthusiastic about his work. The Jason Schoenagle Award Fund was established in 2007 by his family and friends to provide scholarships to academically excellent Film and Media Arts majors with financial need who are studying in the Los Angeles Internship Program.
 

Additional Scholarships

Temple Merit Scholarship Summer Educational Enhancement Stipends of up to $4,000 are awarded to honors students to advance academic goals over the summer. (These awards are not determined by FMA Study Away). 

Honors students receiving a summer stipend may apply this to their study away experience. Check with your advisor for details.
