The Evelyn Rumsey Lord Travel Award

The purpose of the Rumsey Award is to provide funding for summer travel to students who wish to further develop their artistic practice. Funding is awarded each year to a student of Sophomore or higher academic level who will be returning for the following full academic school year. Applicants must participate in a competitive exhibition, from which the Department of Art faculty and staff will select an award winner based on the quality of both the exhibited sample work and the accompanying written travel proposal. Award recipients are required to showcase the work resulting from their summer study in the next year’s Rumsey exhibition.
