Masters category fellowship applicants are also reviewed on additional qualifications. Their recommendations are forwarded to the DSAC for a final decision. Funding decisions may be appealed only on the basis of procedural error or impropriety. C. Eligibility Applicants must be at least 18 years of age and residents of Delaware for at least one year at the time of application. Recipients must remain Delaware residents and not be enrolled in degree or certificate-granting educational programs for the duration of their fellowships.
Artists can receive only one fellowship per artistic discipline in each category.
Emerging Professional recipients may apply in the Established Professional category after a three-year period. Only one fellowship application may be submitted in any year. Files will be established or updated automatically at the time of application. Although fellowships are not intended to fund a specific project, recipients are required to present to the public examples of work accomplished during the grant year. This may be an exhibit, performance, screening, publication, public reading, recording, or other presentation appropriate to the discipline in which the artist works.
