Medici Circle Tom Hilty Travel Award Opportunity
Artists and scholars find inspiration when adventuring to unfamiliar places. Each year, The Medici Circle awards a $2,000 travel grant to an undergraduate student at the BGSU School of Art. The recipient will travel to a domestic or international destination to explore artistic and research practices advancing their creative and scholarly work. The Hilty award does not support study abroad experiences at established BGSU-affiliated partners. To be eligible for this travel opportunity, a student must complete and submit the proposal form, artist and/or research statement, and current resume before the deadline. Please direct any questions to medicicircle@bgsu.edu.
