The Arts Student Council’s final deadline for funding applications, for the 2006-07 academic school year, is April 11th.

Each semester the Arts Student Council (ASC) reviews applications for funding for student-organized projects, events, and groups that benefit the student body at the School of the Arts.

Types of Events Funded by the ASC:

• Interdisciplinary SoA Artists’ Projects (collaborations between students in different divisions on a particular project/work of art);
• Interdisciplinary SoA Events (events organized by a student or students from a single division or multiple divisions intended to benefit students across the disciplines);
• New SoA Student Groups (student groups can be organized by and benefit single or multiple divisions, although preference will be given to student groups with interdisciplinary reach);

Priority will be given to interdisciplinary projects, events, and groups that encourage interaction between multiple divisions.
