  • Be majoring in Art (any concentration) or Visual Arts (Teaching)
  • Be enrolled in 12 credit hours or more during the Fall or Spring semester, of travel, or in the subsequent Fall semeser for summer travel

All applicants must be sponsored by an Art & Design faculty member.

  • Estimate a budget including transportation, registration fees, housing (hotel), food, supplies, materials, or other miscellaneous fees involved. If traveling as part of a 91ÉçÇø-spnsored tour or trip, see the Faculty Sponsor or Advisor for the trip. For travel and food cost estimate guidelines, please see the 91ÉçÇø Travel Procurement page.
  • Estimate financial support available, including student contribution (which should be more than $0.00), parental support, other 91ÉçÇø scholarships or grants, and any outside support.

1. In 2-4 pages, explain one of the following and upload your typed, double-spaced document (PDF or Microsoft Word document):

  • For tours and trips, choose 3 art-related things (sites like museums or churches; specific works of art; and/or particular artists) that you really want to see and study. Explain why they are of particular interest to you, and why you want to go on this tour or trip. Please indicate what research you have done on these topics. If the travel has already occurred, discuss 3 art-related things that you actually DID see, study, and/or experience. How has this tour or trip benefited you, particularly as an art student?
  • For workshops and conferences, explain why you wish to attend particular session(s) and how the experience might be relevant to your course of study and/or career goals. For example, if the speaker or workshop leader is a well-known artist or art historian, explain why their specialty or abilities are relevant to your interests; if the session is about a particular technique, explain why you want to know more about it; etc. If you have already attended the event, how has this experience benefited you, particularly as an art student? In place of a 2–4-page essay, you may write a summary page and do a short presentation or demonstration, if your faculty sponsor deems it appropriate.
  • For virtual experiences, explain why you wish to attend particular session(s) and how the experience might be relevant to your course of study and/or career goals, e.g., if the speaker or workshop leader is a well-known artist or art historian, explain why their specialty or abilities are relevant to your interests; if the session is about a particular technique, explain why you want to know more about it; etc. If you have already attended the event, discuss what new techniques, information, or inspiration that you derived from the seminar. Indicate how the experience was delivered, how effective the online platform was, and how you feel your artwork or research will benefit from the experience.

2. For Workshops, Conferences, or Virtual Experiences, provide one of the following:

  • A PDF copy of the official brochure or web page with a short description of the event, and a copy of the agenda (schedule of events) with the sessions you plan to attend indicated. You may truncate if agendas are especially lengthy.
  • A PDF or Microsoft Word document with the event URL and a list of the sessions you plan to attend.
