Dean’s Travel Grant Awards

UNM’s College of Fine Arts Dean’s Office is pleased to announce once again the availability of travel grants to select CFA students.

Launched in 2013, the CFA Dean’s Travel Grant Award program has been able to send over 200 students to study and perform around the globe. What these students bring back to our College, campus and community is priceless.

Applications are now being accepted for the next round of CFA Dean’s Student Travel Grant Awards. The deadline for proposals is now Friday, February 1st, 2019 at 5:00pm.
