Congratulations Scholars!

The following Scholarships are given to returning students in good academic standing, who exemplify the spirit of Burlington College, and contribute significantly to the Community:

THE FRANK MANCHEL AWARD
For more than half a century, Frank Manchel has been a tireless advocate for the role of film in oublic discourse, and he is one of the leading scholars to recognize the educational opportunities that film studies offers to students. Frank has also been a wonderful friend of Burlington College. In 2006, Frank donated his entire collection of film books, articles and magazines to the Burlington College library. His collection serves as a valuable resource to our Film Studies students and to the community at large. The Frank Manchel Award is given each year to a new or returning student majoring in Cinema Studies and Film Production who otherwise might not be able to pursue their interests and who demonstrates scholarship, talent and aptitude in the field of film and film study.
