Jeffrey R. Hayes Research Award

This award is for graduate students in the Department of Art History for research support related to thesis or thesis exhibition. Support for research may include travel expenses, research grants, conference fees, fellowships, or thesis exhibition expenses. Awards may also be made to cover travel expenses related to attendance at professional conferences for the purposes of presenting research related to the thesis. The Department strongly encourages MA candidates writing theses to apply for the Hayes Award during their second year in the program. Applying for the Hayes Award provides students with vital experience in grant writing, which is integral to our MA curriculum. Applications are typically accepted from mid-October to early November for projects through April of the following year. A second round of applications may be accepted in April for summer or early fall research.
