Supporting students at the School of the Arts
Student artists become leaders of their generation of writers, filmmakers, theatre practitioners, and visual artists, creating work that helps make sense of these turbulent times.
Your gifts provide essential scholarship support for the next generation of artists who will go on to create transformational works of art and scholarship….while reducing their financial burden.
Join us this Columbia Giving Day as we come together to support the talented student artists at the School of the Arts!
Strengthen the School of the Arts and support student artists
Student Fellowships
Provide financial aid for students in Film, Theatre, Visual Arts, or Writing, or support our general fund that will be dispersed as needed.


Dean’s Travel Program
Twice per year, students can apply for travel grants to conduct domestic or international research, complete performance-based projects, or attend global festivals and events. Projects can range from shooting thesis films and scouting locations for authenticity to traveling to specific places that inform creative writing, provide linguistic immersion, or enable collaboration with local artists and authors. Across disciplines, travel is often justified as essential to ensuring cultural accuracy and creative authenticity.
