The process of life-long learning often involves travel, new equipment and other forms of support. Public funding is rarely sufficient to meet the high goals which faculty set for themselves. A gift to support faculty assures excellence for the future. While the cost of attending the School of Art represents a real value, many students require assistance to pursue their future and develop their talents. The School of Art has a number of endowed scholarships which add to other kinds of financial aid, but they are too few.
Many students have to work long hours in addition to their studies to complete their education.
A gift to student scholarships means a shorter time to graduation, better grades, and sometimes, the difference between success and failure. The opportunity exists to endow a new scholarship or contribute to an existing program.
