Special Opportunities for MICA Seniors

Through a gift of the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Foundation, MICA offers the largest institutionally administered travel grant available to undergraduate fine arts majors. MICA seniors may apply for this grant, which provides $25,000 for travel to research and make art. Another unique travel grant available to MICA seniors is the Meyer Traveling Fellowship for a photography major, which culminates in a solo exhibition at MICA.
