Semans Art Fund Grants

Semans Art Fund Grants

The Semans Art Fund is a private foundation that provides funding to current, returning UNCSA students for summer study, special projects, research, and performances, building upon the resources of UNCSA in imaginative ways; and also provides funding to UNCSA Arts Deans for discretionary funds and special projects that aid and promote the students and faculty of their school. To the greatest extent possible, projects should be designed to benefit the campus community and audiences of the School, therefore grants will only be awarded to returning students. The fund was established in 1977 by Dr. and Mrs. James H. Semans.
