Abbondànza Experiential Learning Award

Be recognized and awarded for artistic excellence.

The Abbondànza Experiential Learning Award acknowledges exceptional undergraduate creative talent demonstrated through an applied activity or other experiential learning opportunity.

This award recognizes applicants who are going to participate in an experiential activity, such as applied studies, internships, practicums, international exchanges or artist residencies, and supports the costs of their participation. Funds will be awarded based on a written letter and budget outlining your experiential learning opportunity. Your written letter will describe where it will take place, what you will be doing, and your expected learning outcomes. Your budget will outline the costs you will incur, including but not limited to travel, accommodations, or materials. Applications must be submitted by November 10, 2025.

This award will support activities in each semester (Fall, Winter, Summer). Applicants should submit their application in advance of their planned activity (eg. in the Fall semester for Winter experiences).

This award is made possible by the generous contributions of community supporters and sponsors of the Faculty of Fine Arts annual scholarship fundraiser, Abbondànza (Italian for ‘abundance’). This award supports undergraduate students pursuing excellence in the Fine Arts.
