Funding Support

CFA Small Grants – The CFA Small Grant program is made possible by the gifts of the members of the Medici Circle of the Dean’s Fund for Excellence. The purpose is to support unique opportunities for CFA students, faculty, staff and administration to enrich educational experiences, provide training and promote quality teaching. Awards will be made five times this year, with grants being generally between $100 and $1,000 with a maximum of $5,000 for group projects. Applications are submitted electronically and then forwarded to the Directors who then rank applications by priority order. It is expected that the Schools will provide partial funding for the recommended applications. The Dean and a committee that he convenes make final decisions. For information and guidelines about this program contact your director or go to the CFA website at http://web.cfa.arizona.edu/smallgrants.

Medici Scholars – The Medici Scholars program is designed to support undergraduate or graduate student projects undertaken primarily during summer. Awards average $750 for domestic travel and projects and $1,000 for international travel. Students must obtain an application from the School and return the application by the announced deadline. Funding decisions are made by the department in mid-spring. For information about this program contact Kathleen Huffer in the Development office.
