HAB - Hessen Abschlussförderung
Since the winter semester 2021/2022, four universities from the network of the Hessian Film Academy (hFMA) have been supporting graduation projects in art, film and media studies under the title HAB - Hessen Abschlussförderung. The aim of the funding is to support students in these fields in the development and production of their final artistic projects. The practical creative part of these projects in particular is often associated with a high financial outlay. The HAB graduation grant is intended to strengthen and further professionalize such projects
