Keith and Win Shantz International Research Scholarship

This research scholarship was originally funded through generous donations from the late Winifred Shantz followed by a generous donation from the estate of Keith Shantz. Each year Master of Fine Arts students who have completed a minimum of two terms of study spend at least six weeks of the summer months working as assistants in a professional artist's studio. On completion of this experience the students devote the balance of the term to developing their work in their own studios. The Keith and Winifred Shantz International Research Scholarship provides at least one scholarship annually to cover the accommodation, living and travel expenses and tuition for that term. Recipients are selected automatically by the University of Waterloo Department of Fine Arts and approved by the Dean of Arts.
