Nicholl Fellows participate in pitch workshops, media training sessions, meet-and-greets and more. They also receive ongoing career advancement support through the Gold Alumni Network Program, which provides continued access, opportunity, professional development and education for alumni of the Academy鈥檚 global talent development programs.
All Nicholl Fellows' screenplays are archived in the Academy Collection and are accessible through the Academy鈥檚 Margaret Herrick Library.
The program was endowed by Gladys 鈥淕ee鈥� Nicholl in honour of her husband, writer-producer Don Nicholl. The Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting program has awarded 191 fellowships since 1986.
