They are priced lower, because they're meant to support budding filmmakers who are still in school and working on academic projects.

Student productions are projects that are required for an academic class, whether a thesis film, a final project, or any other reasonably school-related film project.5. Are there any restrictions on the projects Tulayan supports?
