Scholarships: Individuals who demonstrate financial need and require a discount in order to take our classes should complete the educational scholarship application. (A Spanish version of the application is also available.) Please note that at this time, educational scholarships are only available to DOM members. You must have at least a Programming Membership in order to be eligible to receive a scholarship. Scholarships allow students to take a class for $25.00 and are distributed at the sole discretion of the Open Media Foundation. No more than 25% of a class can be made up of scholarship recipients. If an applicant is approved by an Open Media Foundation staff member, they will be notified via email and/or phone and instructed on how to complete class registration.

Testing Out:
If you have experience in field production and/or editing and would like to get certified without having to take a class, you may test-out of a particular certification area for a $25 fee. Please be sure that you know the material well enough to pass the test, because if you fail you will not be certified, and you will have to pay to take the certification class. The fee for the test-out will not be deducted from class fee. If you would like to test-out of Field Production or Final Cut Pro, please email deb@openmediafoundation.org to schedule a date and time. You may not test out of Studio Production.

Reviewing a Class:
Members who have already been certified by the Open Media Foundation who want to take the class the same class to review the material, can do so at a discounted rate of $50 per class for Field and Studio production classes. No discounts will be offered for reviewing Final Cut Pro classes. If you would like to review a class please email deb@openmediafoundation.org.
