An additional section of any initial materials will be developed to assist high school educators regarding Native American history and more specifically Catawba Indian Culture and the art of Catawba pottery making. C. Curriculum will be aligned with South Carolina curriculum requirements for high school as it relates to South Carolina Art Education Standards.

(Art History majors)
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.
