Arts Dean’s Fund For Excellence and Equity
The Arts Dean’s Fund for Excellence and Equity (ADFEE) is dedicated to supporting the dissemination of student research. Qualifying projects must demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. This fund is supported entirely through the generosity of our donors, and remains open as long as funding is available. Funds are administered through the Office of the Dean of Arts.
Arts Professional Pathways Internship Scholarship
Arts Professional Pathways supports successful student application and placement in internships. The intention of this scholarship is to make internships more accessible to all students by offsetting living expenses, moving expenses, lost income, or increased travel expenses associated with the internship.
Students who are accepted into internships are eligible to apply for the Arts Division Internship Scholarship Fund that supports living expenses during the period of the internship. Funding averages $1,000 per month for the duration of the internship available on a first come, first served basis as funds are available.
