Carolyn R. Nebeker Art History Scholarship

Deadline: March 11, 2024

NOTE: This scholarship requires that you fill out the Specialized Scholarship Application AND submit additional materials to the department.

The intent of this award is to reward exceptional scholarship in art history by funding educational travel for the purpose of art history research within the countries of Europe. Travel may be with an approved art history study group, such as a university-sponsored program, or it may be independent travel research, not necessarily associated with course credit.

Scholarship recipients will be notified of the award via email in late Spring 2024 and scholarship awards will be effective during the 2024-2025 school year.

  • Recipient must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5.
