The NFTS Is Proud To Announce The Nik Powell Scholarship

In recognition of the enormous contribution Nik made to the development of new talent and his passionate support of new filmmakers and voices, the Nik Powell Scholarship will support emerging producers in the early stages of their career to attend the NFTS, a School he helped shape into one of the best film schools in the world and which he loved dearly.

In addition to the financial support the Scholarship will provide, each recipient will also be matched with an industry leader who will provide ongoing support and mentoring and share an insight into Nik’s own particular approach to producing. It is our intention to award this Scholarship annually, the amount awarded to the recipient will be determined by the monies raised, so please do give generously.  

The NFTS will liaise with Nik’s partner Sarah Cellan-Jones, his partner of 20 years, to select the recipients of the Scholarship. The primary criteria in making awards from the Scholarship fund is financial need.

The NFTS has set an ambitious target of raising £100,000. Please give generously.
