UCAE Fund Grants
The UCAE Fund is sponsored by the University Council for Art Education. It provides grants of $500 to $1,500 for projects that show promise in advancing exemplary art education. They might include, but not be limited to innovative programs, experimental curriculum design, professional development, post doctoral research and studio projects.
Applications are blind reviewed. Grant recipients are required to acknowledge UCAE grant funding on all materials related to their grant and agree to allow UCAE to use grant materials to publicize the UCAE Fund. Completed application and supporting materials are due postmarked by October 1st.
Grants are awarded in half installments, one half following the award to be announced by December 1st and the other half upon receipt of a two page progress report by May 1st, that is positively accepted by the Fund. Projects are due by January 1st the following year. The UCAE reserves the right to withdraw an award if adequate progress is not evident.
