As a reminder to students regarding potential Summer funding, I’m reposting this entry that was originally posted on March 1.
————————-
A forward-thinking student recently e-mailed me the following question:
"I have some questions for you regarding the summer. how do most students afford the summer? i assume most get jobs which i am actively seeking – but i wonder if there is a back-up plan? is there loan money available?...I am trying to be proactive and get organized ahead of time…and i just am still trying to familiarize myself with NYC and Columbia and all the possibilities for income or funding available…I’m looking into all of my options (whether i use them or not)."
First of all, congratulations. You are taking an important first step by thinking about these things well in advance. These are obviously important questions, so in order to help clarify options for summer funding, I’ve created the following FAQ list. Enjoy! (more…)

From personal works to assignments to scholarship & grant applications, artists write. Sometimes, it’s helpful to have another set of eyes to help copy-edit and review what you’ve written.
Did you know that Columbia University offers a free-to-students center for just such a purpose? The Columbia University Writing Center, part of the Undergraduate Writing Program (UWP), is designed to help students develop their writing, from nearly-completed works to works-in progress to scholarship and grant applications.

For those of you who are still lamenting the loss of "Ms. Moneybags" (aka Elyssa East, the former Manager of the Artists’ Resource Center and author of the "SoA Guide to Outside Scholarships and Grants" and the ever-popular "Friday Funds") we have some fantastic news!
Please join me in welcoming Marjorie Orcel-Cozart to the School of the Arts staff. She is the new Coordinator of the Artists’ Resource Center and has spent the last few weeks working with Elyssa to become familiar with many arts-related outside funding opportunities (she prefers ‘Ms. Treasure Trove," if you please…).
Marjorie comes to us from a background in financial and non-profit work. We’re thrilled to have her join our team.
The Artists’ Resource Center (ARC) was created to provide support to student applications to outside scholarships, fellowships, and grants, in addition to offering professional development resources.
She’s here to help you, so be sure to take a moment to stop by and say ‘hello.’ She sits in 305 Dodge and can be reached either by e-mail (mro2105@columbia.edu) or by phone at (212) 854-2761. If you stop by, make sure to help yourself to a Sugar Daddy or chocolate coin.
Welcome, Marjorie!
