SGCI Student Fellowships are awarded to individuals who exhibit outstanding promise in the fine art practice of printmaking. Each institution may submit the name of one graduate and one undergraduate student candidate. In order to be considered, these students and the institutional representative nominating them, must be members in good standing. The students must submit the following to the SGCI Awards Coordinator:
A complete set of:
- Nominating statement by their institution representative, please indicate if you are nominating the student for the undergraduate or graduate student award. (Included in the CD as a word document.)
- Eight digital images (no larger than 150 dpi, 4” x 5”, saved as pdf files)
- A proposal (maximum of two pages long) outlining the project that the fellowship will be used for. This should include an abstract, methodology, timeline and budget. The proposal needs to be saved as a pdf file and to be included as a separate file on the CD itself.
- Please list contact information on all application materials (name, email address, phone no., mailing address)
- SASE for return of application materials.
The recipients of the SGCI Student Fellowships are presented at the awards ceremony, by the SGCI president. The award is $500 for the undergraduate student and $1000 for the graduate student.
SGCI Student Fellowship recipients will be recognized at the following year’s award ceremony and will be afforded all possible opportunities to be listed in conference and council publications and the website. SGCI will also make every effort to create exhibition opportunities for student award recipients at the subsequence SGCI conference (please note, however, that this is not always possible). Student fellowship winners will provide the archives with digital documentation of work accomplished.
Upon notification, recipients are responsible for written acknowledgement accepting the award along with an updated contact information; a short bio and a black and white portrait photograph (no larger that 150 dpi, 4″x 5″) for publicity purposes.
