Grant Initiative for Individual Student-Artists
Artist Development Fellowships
The guiding vision behind this program is to nurture the artistic development of promising and/or accomplished student artists and creators who, it is hoped, will one day look back on this opportunity and mark it as a significant contributor to their creative development.
Artist Development Fellowships are awarded annually by the Council on the Arts, a standing committee of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
The program is open to all undergraduates currently enrolled in Harvard College. Applicants must undertake projects that will be completed prior to graduation. (The Council may occasionally make exceptions for projects that are to be undertaken immediately following graduation, although current undergraduates will be given priority consideration.)
Application Deadline for 2008-2009 Academic Year: TBD
Application Deadline for 2007-2008 Academic Year: CLOSED (January 10, 2008)

Project Grants
The Office for the Arts (OFA) Grants for artistically innovative, undergraduate-focused projects are awarded to Harvard undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and staff, by the Council on the Arts, a committee of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Funded projects combine artistic merit, artistic experimentation, educational benefit to undergraduates, a "ripple" effect within the university, and involvement of and visibility to a maximum number of undergraduates.
To Apply:
Applicants must apply for funding one semester in advance of their proposed project date. For example, Fall 2007 project managers should apply for funding during the spring semester and spring 2008 project managers must apply for funding during fall semester 2007.
