Grants of up to $500 per academic year are available for professional staff in the College of Fine and Applied Arts.
Special grant funds may be used for the following:
- To encourage professional development by supporting attendance at conferences, workshops, performances, exhibitions, and other professional events.
- To support instruction, research, and creative activity through the purchase of software, equipment, or other supplies; hiring student research support; or preparing exhibitions, concerts, or publications. Equipment purchased with these funds is considered university property and when acquired for an individual’s use remains university-owned property after the individual’s position is terminated (OBFS policy section 12.1).
