This fund was established to support Art History majors. Funds are typically awarded to support student travel related to study abroad programs or to present papers at academic conferences. The Art History Coordinator issues a call for proposals with guidelines each spring for travel that summer or the following academic year. The art history faculty select proposals primarily based on the student’s academic achievements (e.g., the applicant’s GPA, Honors status, or other work on projects with academic distinction) as well as departmental activities that show leadership and initiative. Students with tentative plans are encouraged to apply; funding can be awarded after formal acceptance into a study abroad program or conference. Questions about applying for a PALS Award should be directed to the Art History Coordinator.
