Department Donor Supported Graduate Research Funds
Barbara Smith Shanley Graduate Travel Fellowships
Barbara Smith Shanley Graduate Travel Fellowships provide funding to support graduate travel necessary to prepare the dissertation prospectus. They are typically awarded to students in the Summer following their second year.
Art History Alumni (AHA) Basic Research Fund
Based on the generosity of department alumni, including Liz Warnock and her generous Warnock Gift, each year the department provides graduate students with grants to facilitate research and professional development. This fund is used to award Warnock Research Grants to active graduate students in any year of the program, typically in the Summer.
Application Process
A combined call for applications for Shanley Travel Fellowships and Warnock Research Grants is issued by the department each Spring. In some cases, there is an additional call for applications in Fall quarter for Winter grants.
Thank you to all our donors for this invaluable support. If you would like to contribute to the funds that support our graduate students, please follow this link.
