EXTERNAL GRANTS & SCHOLARSHIPS

The Texas Film Commission administrates the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program (TMIIIP), which applies to projects that meet specific criteria—including being fully funded.  The Texas Film Commission does not maintain information about private investors for project funding purposes.

However, we realize the importance of financial assistance for projects at various stages.  As such, our office has compiled a list of external grants, scholarships, and crowdfunding resources that may be suitable for your project’s needs. The documents below are not comprehensive.  These resources are not affiliated with the Texas Film Commission; therefore, any questions should be directed to the respective grant/scholarship entity.

  • Digital Media Grants & Scholarships (PDF - Last updated 2025 April)
 

LOCAL MUNICIPAL INCENTIVES

Some Texas municipalities offer local production incentives that supplement the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program (TMIIIP).  These programs likely have different requirements from TMIIIP and are not administered by the Texas Film Commission, so we encourage you to contact the respective municipalities with questions or for more information.  Learn more about these additional incentive programs by clicking on the links below.
