North Texas Institute for Educators on the Visual Arts

What financial support is provided?

Through the support of the Edward and Betty Marcus Foundation, five awards have been granted annually since 1995.
Each Fellow selected will be awarded a total stipend of $15,000 (before payroll deductions) for a 12-month period of graduate study in the School of Visual Arts at UNT beginning in the Fall semester and terminating the 31st of August.
In addition, awards include tuition and fees, paid state health benefits (for the Fellow only) as well as a travel allowance to assist in attending professional meetings and conferences. Marcus Fellows are expected to participate in sessions at state and national conferences.
The award does not cover books, supplies, housing accommodations, expenses related to the summer museum internship, or other personal expenses such as commuting. Locating housing is the responsibility of each Fellow.
