DeVries Professional Immersion Fund for Art Students
The Eleanor R. and Robert A. DeVries Professional Immersion Fund for Art Students enables students to participate in a variety of activities beyond the WMU campus. The eligible activities include internships with art museums, institutions, and studios, apprenticeships with area artists, or attendance at selected lectures, exhibitions, art collections, libraries, artist residencies, workshops, or conferences. Funds will be disbursed by the WMU Student Financial Aid and Scholarships Office directly to student accounts. Frostic School of Art Students enrolled full-time (defined as 12 credits) with a first major in any of the degree granting programs in the Frostic School of Art are eligible to apply.
Expenditures supported by these grants include:
• Tuition and fees for workshops, conferences, and artist residencies outside of WMU.
• Travel expenses related to selected lectures, exhibitions, art collections, libraries, artist residencies, workshops, or conferences.
• Assistance with an internship that may not provide for travel, rent, gas, or parking.
