FAA to Establish New Dean’s Excellence Scholarship
The College of Fine and Applied Arts (FAA) is establishing The Dean’s Excellence Scholarship Fund to ensure that all bright and talented first-year students are able to enroll and thrive in the college’s undergraduate programs. This scholarship will provide financial support for excellent students, prioritizing those from historically underserved communities and racial and ethnic groups.
Giving to the Dean’s Excellence Scholarship Fund provides a direct and immediate impact for an incoming first-year student who may be struggling with their college decision based on financial constraints. Economic background should not be the deciding factor for students who demonstrate academic and creative excellence. The support of our alumni and friends through the Dean’s Excellence Scholarship Fund will allow the college to educate and prepare the best students to become the next artists, designers, architects, scholars, teachers, and planners that will go on to creatively address the world’s challenges.
Are you ready to invest in the future of the arts and help FAA attract and retain the best students? Contact Assistant Dean for Advancement Jon Salvani at faa-advancement@illinois.edu or 217-333-1660 to learn more about how you can support The Dean’s Excellence Scholarship Fund.
