NALIP’s partnership with Corporate Public Broadcasting (CPB) and World Channel has called out for stories that reflect upon the lives of students post their high school career and what the world has to offer them past the walls of their high schools.The evaluations for the Beyond Graduation Digital Incubator has been a long and tedious one. We received hundreds of amazing projects reflecting a multitude of voice passionate about telling a story we rarely see.

Thanks to the kindness from our friends at CPB, we are able to provide grants to three documentary shorts and two dramatic shorts. It is with the greatest pleasure that we announce the following individuals as this year’s grant recipients:

Documentary Shorts Recipients

Dez Hernandez - The Service Gap

Alan Dominguez - American Graduate: Turns in the Road

Georgina Gonzalez - Passion Drives Us

Dramatic Shorts Recipients

Carla Dauden - The Jump

Carlos Valdivia - The Internship

Congratulations Finalists! CPB, World Channel and NALIP looks forward to developing these projects with you and working towards getting these projects ready for distribution via World Channel’s platform.
