COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS AWARDS AND GRANTS
FY24 COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS AWARDS
The College of Fine Arts will recognize the outstanding work of its faculty and staff and the achievement of college alumni and external partners. Awards will be recognized at the College of Fine Arts Awards Reception with invitations to members of the college and supporters and stakeholders internal and external to UTRGV. Funding will come from college funding but there is an opportunity for College of Fine Arts supporters to name awards in their honor/memory through an endowed gift.
Additionally, the College of Fine Arts encourages award winners to compete for similar awards at the institution level. So, when applicable, the application process is similar at both the college and the institution levels. The awards are in two categories: excellence awards and achievement awards.

CFA Outreach and Partnership Grant supports faculty engaging in teaching, research, or creative activity projects in partnership with an institution external to UTRGV or discipline outside of the College of Fine Arts. $500-2,000 per award

FY24 COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS TRAVEL GRANTS support faculty who engage in travel for research and creative activity. $500-1,000 per award.
The grant has a rolling online application. Decisions are made for the grants monthly by the College Leadership Council. We have limited funds so we will probably not be able to meet all the needs within the college but I hope that this is an additional tool to provide support along with departmental and institutional support.
