Pete Carpenter Fellowship
for aspiring TV/Film composers

Current Application

The Pete Carpenter Fellowship gives aspiring TV and film composers the opportunity to work with the eminent composer Mike Post at his studio in Los Angeles. The fellowship, which usually runs 4-5 weeks, includes a $3,000 stipend for travel and expenses and there are opportunities to meet with other distinguished theatrical, film and television composers and leaders in the entertainment industry.

Established in 1989, the fellowship is awarded in memory of the late Pete Carpenter, who was co-composer of television themes and scores including The A-Team, Magnum P.I., The Rockford Files, Hardcastle and McCormick, Hunter and Riptide. Mr. Post, who generously volunteers his time and expertise for this program, was Pete Carpenter’s partner and friend, and is the writer of such TV themes as NYPD Blue, L.A. Law, and Law and Order.

The fellowships are presented annually and are open to any composer under the age of 35. There is no citizenship requirement.
