Undergraduate School of Art Student Enrichment Travel Grant

The Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts (HIDA) Deans Office, in collaboration with each HIDA Academic Unit, is pleased to offer the Student Enrichment Travel Grant for Undergraduate and Graduate students. The Travel Grant is intended to assist students with travel-related expenses, support professional development, increase the visibility of Design and Arts programs, and reward excellence in student research and creative practice. Funding supports Domestic and International travel.

This application is subject to change and will be updated accordingly.

This grant provides support for: (1) competitively-selected students to exhibit, perform, present a paper, or give a workshop at national & regional conferences; AND (2) for students invited to perform or exhibit at prestigious regional, or national venues. This grant is meant to support one conference/event per application (students should not apply for multiple opportunities within the same application).

You're eligible to apply if:
- You are an undergraduate student with a School of Art major
- You are in good academic standing

Eligible expenses funded by this grant are:
- Travel (airfare or other pre-approved transportation, lodging, per diem for meals, taxi)
- Registration fees

Travel that is eligible for funding with this grant must be:
- Intended for the future (retroactive funding will not be considered)
- Completed prior to your expected graduation date.

Applications will be judged on the significance of the project to the student's professional development and its contribution to the visibility and reputation of the Herberger Institute of Design and the Arts. Applicants for this grant can apply every other travel period (every other quarter). Students who have previously received a travel grant are eligible to apply, but first consideration will be given to students not previously funded in the academic year.
