Friendship Grant
The SFA Friends of the Visual Arts Board provides a limited number of grants to deserving students enrolled in SFA's School of Art to aide those students in furthering their educational and professional goals in the field of art.
Grants are available to art students to support:
- books or art supplies required for a student's study or career advancement
- travel related to a student's coursework, career advancement (e.g., professional conference) or co-curricular activity
- or fees for professional conferences.
Grants are available for up to $500 per academic year for an individual student and may not be used to pay for tuition and fees or debts to the university.
