No, my friend didn’t get a fund, he just got a scholarship that deducted from his university tuition, I think his total tuition for 2 years would be about one billion.
Regarding my friend’s resume, one of them is that he studied at the only state cinema and theater school in Iran and got a pointe (good entrance exam rank), my GPA was 18 and above, he had done theater work, had 2-3 performances, and my language was good.
I don’t know if you know or not, there are two models for master’s, course based and thesis based
And it is possible to get funding from thesis based fields
In general, the philosophy of getting funding is that you actually go to work for a professor (research work) and in return, they cover your expenses.
Acting is not a research field and it is not so-called thesis based
(I did not research, of course, but logically, acting should be course based)
Now apart from acting, in cinema
You can find thesis based courses that are actually something like film studies
If your goal is Europe, well, some countries don’t have tuition fees at all or the fees are low, you can also think about them.
But directing and acting and. It really has very little chance for the fund
My friends have won BAFTA or Cannes awards, but they are self-funded!
This is all my personal information and it may not be 100% correct, but I tried to give you an overview
