This award is meant to provide financial assistance to an outstanding art major or liberal studies art major for items such as travel, room, board, and other costs incurred in pursuing study beyond traditional courses provided by the Department of Art.
CRITERIA:
- Rising junior to senior status continuing study away (ex. Internship)
- Overall grade point average of 3.0 or better
- Demonstration of “excellence” in one art track, and
- The recommendation of one Department of Art faculty member, or the Director of the University Galleries or the Dean of the Fulton School of Liberal Arts.
ELIGIBILITY: Any full-time art major or liberal studies art major pursuing a Bachelor or Art or Bachelor of Fine Art degree in Art; and working within at least one of the academic tracks.
Because the Art Department Student Assistantship Fund is meant to “assist” an outstanding art major that meets the above criteria in pursuing study beyond that provided by the Department of Art, and outside the traditional scholarship-type awards, students eligible for consideration must be pursuing in one of the following areas:
- The “Junior Year Away” program related to study at one of the out-of-state Art Institutes International programs,
- The Arts Administration internship at the national or high-level regional gallery/museum such as the National Museum, Baltimore, Maryland.
- Any academically accredited international study program
- Inter-term credit bearing courses such as ART 399 – International Field Study or courses with an international travel element.
- Study at another institution during an “inter-term” (Winter Term or Summer Session) provided that study is not within commuting distance of the student’s residence.
NOTE FROM ART DEPARTMENT: Students need to provide evidence of returning to Salisbury University and evidence of acceptance to an outside travel program before receiving the award.
