Wagner College full-time students who are declared Art or Art Administration majors are eligible to apply for a Gaffney Project Grant. Grants may be awarded to students at any point prior to their last semester at Wagner. Most projects will take place in the summer.

The maximum award is $750.00, and can be applied to any aspect of a students art education or art practice. At the discretion of the Art Department, one grant may be awarded or it may be divided into a number of smaller grants, not exceeding $750.00 in total during each Academic year.

Some examples of projects to be funded include travel expenses (i.e. a summer trip to Italy to study Renaissance painting), expenses for framing for an exhibit, model fees for a specific project, or photographer’s fee for preparing a portfolio of the student’s work. At the completion of the project, students write a narrative summary of the experience, including financial documentation of how the Grant money was spent.  Students will be offered an exhibition in Wagner's Spotlight Gallery.

Application forms can be found at the link below.

The deadline for applying for a grant for this academic year will be March 10, 2008. Applications are available in the Art Office, Room 43C, on the first floor of Main Hall or by  using the link at the bottom of this page.
