Graduate Funding and Research Support

  • A student sets up an exhibit
  • A woman works in an office
  • A student works on a project of miniature people
  • A student organizes

All full-time students in the MFA and PhD programs are fully funded, and students in our MA and MAED programs are awarded assistantships and tuition wavers on a competitive basis. Assistantships are renewed on an annual basis and a yearly assistantship application is required of all incoming and returning students. Funding is also available from various sources to offset the cost of materials and travel related to graduate research.

Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE)

Travel Grants

Graduate School Fellowships and Scholarships

Graduate Assistantships

Departmental Assistantships

Applicants to all Dodd Graduate programs will be automatically considered for departmental assistantships, which typically involve grading, teaching, working in the Art library, or assisting with the operations of the Dodd galleries. No separate application is required.

Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE)

In addition to departmental assistantships, prospective students are encouraged to apply for assistantships in interdisciplinary arts research through ICE. These assistantships are available to students in art, music, theatre, and film studies and are awarded on a competitive basis following departmental nomination. You must submit a separate ICE application and express your interest in this award when you apply for admission to the School of Art. 

Graduate School Fellowships and Scholarships

The Graduate School offers several fellowships and scholarships, which are described in detail on their website. Applicants must be nominated by their home department and routed through the Dodd Graduate Office.

Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs Assistantships

The Office of Vice President for Student Affairs (OVPSA) coordinates the selection process for graduate assistantships in Student Affairs and in offices of our campus partners (for 2019, Career Services and the Office of Service Learning will be selecting graduate students through this process as well). All students enrolled in or applying to a graduate degree program offered at the University of Georgia are eligible to apply for graduate assistantships through this process.

 


Graduate Research and Travel Support

Travel Support

Travel Grants are available from the Graduate School to offset the cost of participating in conferences and exhibitions in the continental United States and abroad. 

The Willson Center Graduate Research Award

The Willson Center Graduate Research Award provides support toward research related expenses for arts and humanities projects that are essential components of a graduate degree program. Application is open to any humanities and arts graduate student registered for an advanced degree.

Art History Support Fund

The Art History area reviews applications from graduate students who wish to travel for the purpose of conducting or presenting research. A call for applications is issued twice annually by the Art History Area Chair.

Graduate Office Support Fund

The Dodd Graduate Office reviews requests for research-related funding on a rolling basis. The graduate office will also review proposals to offset cost incurred at summer residencies. Please contact Dr. Isabelle Loring Wallace, Associate Director of Research and Graduate Studies with any questions.

Penland School of Craft Summer Workshop Scholarship

The School of Art is pleased to announce that it is able to subsidize the cost of tuition and board for one student who wishes to pursue coursework this summer at Penland School of Craft, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. To be considered for this opportunity, please complete this short application.

More information about Penland School of Craft can be found here and a full course catalogue is available here. (Full summer course list will be available mid December - sample list can be found here.)
