Homewood Arts Awards and Grants

The Homewood Arts Programs Certificate is awarded to graduating seniors who have made a significant contribution to the nonacademic arts at JHU.

The certificate acknowledges and rewards long-term and dedicated participation in one of five areas. To apply, go to: web.jhu.edu/studentprograms/homewood_arts/ artscertificate.html. Juniors must apply by March 1.

The Arts Innovation Program seeks to stimulate efforts by Homewood faculty, staff and students through two complementary programs. The first offers funding to faculty and staff who wish to create credit-bearing courses in the arts, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and cross-departmental courses; the second seeks to inspire the artistic efforts of students, either those currently engaged in arts activities or those wishing to create a new venture. Grant amounts are up to $2,000 for students and $8,000 for faculty/staff.

To apply, go to: www.library.jhu.edu/about/news/announcements/ artsinnovation.html. The deadline is March 1 for fall projects.
