CREATE ·2023 Grants ChallengeBlack Filmmakers + Global Training = Amplified Voices
To develop CBSGC's MFA for Black filmmakers, we request Year 2 start-up funds to facilitate acquiring the necessary license from the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE), to pay legal and consulting fees, and to fund a P/T salary to complete the BPPE application (up to 600-page document). BPPE licensure is required to open and before we apply for accreditation, taking up to 2 years. We will apply for WASC accreditation upon opening in Fall 2025, so our first 3-year Master of Fine Arts graduating class may have accredited diplomas.
