USE OF GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS APPLICATIONS
You must acknowledge the use of generative AI in your application and/or thesis.
STEP 1: VISIT SLIDEROOM + CREATE AN ACCOUNT/UPDATE YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT
SlideRoom: svaalumniawards.slideroom.com
Use the name you are registered with as a student at SVA. Should you receive an award, we must be able to verify your identity based on the information in your SlideRoom account. If you are using a name other than your legal name, make sure the SVA Registrar has it on file.
Use your SVA email address for this SlideRoom application. We will contact you via your SVA email for all notifications and updates. Make sure to check your SVA email address for updates from the program.
If you have an existing SlideRoom account, make sure your contact information, including your email, is correct by logging in and selecting “Account Information” under your name in the upper right corner.
STEP 2: PROVIDE BASIC INFORMATION
SLIDEROOM → Student ID #
→Student ID #? Fill in your Student ID #. Enter the correct Student ID #. Double-check your Student ID # before entering it. You can find your Student ID # in MyServices / User Profile under your picture.
SLIDEROOM → ASA Applicant Information Form
→Do you have a preferred first name? Do you use a name that is different from what is on your application? Enter the name you would like to be recognized by. We will use this name in Alumni Society materials. If your preferred name is first name and last name, please put both names in the field.
→Preferred Pronouns: Choose from the options provided or enter your own answer.
→Degree and Major: Choose from the drop-down menu.
You are required to enter the correct degree and major. Double-check that you have selected the right degree and major.
→When are you graduating? Choose from the options provided.
Students must be in their final year at SVA, planning to graduate in the winter, spring or summer of 2025.
→Confirm GPA status.
Students must be in good academic standing. Students in programs that track GPAs must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. You do not need to submit your transcript. Your GPA or Pass/Fail status will be verified through SVA’s Registrar.
My program tracks GPAs & my GPA is 3.0 or above.
My program does not track GPAs (Pass/Fail).
I am in a One-Year Program.
Please contact your department if you do not know whether your program tracks GPAs.
To check your GPA (for programs that have GPAs)
As current students, you may view your transcript immediately from MyServices. You will need to log into your MyID account to access MyServices. Your cumulative GPA is listed on your transcript.
→Do you have thesis partners? Thesis partners are other SVA students (in their final year and in your same program) who will also be graded on this same project because it is also their thesis project. Students who wish to apply for collaborative projects (thesis partner projects) must apply together on one application. The collaboration/thesis partnership must choose one person to represent the project and fill out their information on the Applicant Information Form. The group representative cannot apply for a separate individual award, nor can the partner(s) apply for separate awards. The group representative will accept payment on behalf of the thesis partnership.
If you have thesis partner(s), select “Yes,” and fill out the following for each thesis partner: Legal Name, Student ID #, SVA Email and Preferred Name (if there is an alternate name they would prefer to be recognized by).
You are required to include first name, last name and Student ID # for all thesis partners for them to be recognized.

STEP 3: DESCRIBE YOUR PROJECT IN WORDS
SLIDEROOM → ASA Project Information Form
→Thesis/Portfolio Project Title: If your project does not have a title, enter “Untitled.”
→Medium/Format: Briefly describe the substance or method you will use for your final project. If your project has multiple components, list them here.
→How will you complete your thesis? Are you the only person working on your thesis? Do you have a thesis partner(s)? Will you be getting assistance (paid or unpaid) to complete the tasks associated with your thesis project?
ARKELL AWARD APPLICANTS, and BFA ANIMATION, BFA 3DFX, BFA FILM and MPS FILM DIRECTING APPLICANTS: This information is required. You can provide it on the form provided or in your Production Booklet in the Media Section.
All others: If you have thesis partners or are receiving assistance, please use the form provided.
You should include yourself on this list if you have collaborators (Name: "Self" and Role: "Designer," for example). If you do not know who you will enlist for help, just say Name: "TBD," and Role: "Web Designer," for example. You do not have to list everyone working on your project if there are many. For example, if you are hiring multiple colorists for your animation, under Name, you can put "5 People," and under Role, you can put "Colorists." Make sure to indicate if they are thesis partners or not.
PROJECT SUMMARY & PROJECT DESCRIPTION TIP/WARNING ⚠️
If you write these in another program and copy and paste them into SlideRoom, you will NOT be warned if too-long write-ups are cut off. Before you copy and paste, make sure your Project Summary is under 300 characters (including spaces) and that your Project Description is under 3,000 characters (including spaces), and always double-check that your whole write-up has been pasted.
→Project Summary: A very brief description of your project. Consider this the 1-3 sentence “elevator pitch” summation of your project. If your project is film/video/animation, indicate whether it is a short or feature-length, narrative or documentary, 2D or 3D, etc., and the expected length of the final product. If you are working on a book, how many pages will it be? The maximum number of characters allowed is 300, including spaces.
→Project Description: Project Description is a one-page proposal/narrative of your project. You are allowed up to 3,000 characters, including spaces. Be concise and specific. Make your case for support by stating your project's purpose, goals or objectives. Include a project timeline and synopsis. Remember that you are explaining your project to a stranger who knows nothing about you or what you do. Your Project Description is not an artist statement. You must include specific details about your project. If you use generative AI to write your Project Description, you must acknowledge the use of this tool.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENT – ARKELL AWARD APPLICANTS ONLY
Your Project Description must explain how you will fund your project if you do not receive this funding. If relevant, include details about your overall financing plan.

BUDGET REQUIREMENTS – ALL MAJORS
Your project must have a minimum budget of $500 to be eligible for a scholarship.
You are required to submit a budget.
You must request in $500 increments up to $2,000 (Exception: Fourth-year BFA Film majors ONLY, working in narrative film of any length—NOT documentary or animation—may request up to $5,000).
Note that the amount requested cannot exceed your project budget total. For example, if your Project Budget Amount Needed is $699, apply for a $500 award. If your Project Budget Amount Needed is $1,700, apply for a $1,500 award.
You are not required to submit receipts to the SVA Alumni Society, but saving receipts for your records is strongly recommended to provide records for tax purposes.
BUDGET REQUIREMENT – ARKELL AWARD APPLICANTS, and BFA FILM and MPS FILM DIRECTING APPLICANTS. RECOMMENDED FOR ALL FILM/VIDEO PROJECTS.
YOU MUST UPLOAD YOUR OWN DOCUMENT. Do not use the SlideRoom form.
You can use your working budget worksheet (Excel or other) or create a new budget for this application.
All film majors must include a detailed budget, including all expenses (even in-kind expenses you are not paying for directly). This helps the jurors better understand the scope of your project.
MAKE SURE YOU USE A READABLE FORMAT WHEN UPLOADING YOUR BUDGET. PDF IS BEST.
BUDGET GUIDELINES – ALL MAJORS
Only include the expenses associated with the creation of your final project.
You should include ALL items needed for your project to reflect the scope of the project.
Use an asterisk (*) to indicate which items on your budget you are requesting funding for (if you are not requesting funding for all items).
Request funding only for qualified items if possible. (See below for info about qualified items.)
You must list specific items/services on your budget.
List exact amounts if possible.
If you have a quote from a vendor, include it. If you don’t, then estimate costs.
Retroactive expenses are allowable: You may list costs you have already incurred and those you anticipate incurring before graduation.
WHAT QUALIFIES FOR FUNDING? – ALL MAJORS
Recommendations Regarding Qualified Education Expenses: Alumni Scholarship Awards are intended to be used by the recipients to assist in pursuing their thesis/portfolio projects. Students may receive such scholarships tax-free to the extent the money is used for qualified expenses. Students should maintain records indicating that the Alumni Scholarship Award was used exclusively on materials required to complete a thesis/portfolio project at SVA to avoid including any part of the award in their gross income. Incidental fees, such as room and board or travel, do not qualify.
The lists below contain examples of expenses that may qualify and those that may not qualify as qualified education expenses. This summary should not be considered tax advice, and there is no certainty whether the Internal Revenue Service will treat the expenses below as qualified or nonqualified.
If required to complete a thesis/portfolio project at SVA, qualified expenses may include:
Art/design supplies including paint, gesso, brushes, materials, canvas, stretcher bars, framing, film, processing, photo paper, paper, ink cartridges, printing, cable, etc.
Studio fees for sound mixing/editing (if that service is not available at SVA)
Equipment rentals (video projectors, speakers, lights); fees for actors and crew; local car/van rental (only to transport cast, crew and equipment to location if required to complete a thesis/portfolio project at SVA)
A note about travel: You may request funding for on-location travel (for example: a car/truck rental to transport from your hotel to a filming location)—but you may not request funding for travel from SVA to a filming location.
Sets, props, costumes, makeup; location fees; insurance.
Advertising (in reasonable cases); postage for promotional mailings (if you are launching a project or product); marketing materials (i.e., posters, packets for investors for films); documentation of the project; DVDs, CDs, digital audiotapes, etc.
Some equipment and software may be qualified if required to complete a thesis/portfolio project at SVA.
Research materials (such as books unavailable in the SVA Library or New York Public Library) may be allowable expenses if required to complete a thesis/portfolio project at SVA. You must list the titles/authors of the books you need to buy for your project.
Expenses that are not likely to be considered qualified education expenses include:
Rent for studio space
Travel (such as commuting to and from school)
Computer equipment (no tablets, laptops, desktops, cameras, monitors, scanners, etc.)
The award cannot fund seed money to start a business. Be clear in your budget that you are requesting funding for prototypes to complete your thesis.
SLIDEROOM → ASA Budget
→Choose What Format You Will Use to Submit Your Budget
Upload your own budget form: Required for ARKELL AWARD APPLICANTS, and BFA FILM and MPS FILM DIRECTING APPLICANTS. Recommended for all film/video projects.
SlideRoom Form: All applications except ARKELL AWARD APPLICANTS, and BFA FILM and MPS FILM DIRECTING APPLICANTS.
I am a film major OR I want to upload my own budget form
I am NOT a Film Major and I want to use the Slideroom budget form
→Project Budget Grand Total: This is the total of all the expenses associated with this entire project and should agree with your budget form. It can include qualified and nonqualified items. It can include items for which you need funding and items for which you do not need funding. Wait until you have completed your budget to answer this question.
→Project Budget Amount Needed: This is the total of all the expenses for which you need funding. It can include qualified and nonqualified items. It may be the same as your grand total.
→Amount Requested: DO NOT ASK FOR MORE THAN YOU NEED – You should request funding for qualified items. This total needs to agree with your budget form: You must request in $500 increments up to $2,000 (Exception: Fourth-year BFA Film majors ONLY, working in narrative film of any length—NOT documentary or animation—may request up to $5,000). The requested amount cannot exceed the project budget total or the needed amount. Wait until you have completed your budget to answer this question. Examples: If your Project Budget Amount Needed is $699, apply for a $500 award. If your Project Budget Amount Needed is $1,700, apply for a $1,500 award.
→Income: If you have received another grant or raised funds for this project, answer “Yes” to the Income question. Fill out the form indicating the income amount and the source. Income might include crowdfunding, grants, fellowships, awards and sales. If you have crowdfunding or investors, such as for a major film project, you may list them here but be sure to notate them as such. Do NOT include personal income. Having income for a project is a good thing, but don’t worry if you have none.
