Fellowships, Prizes, and Awards are conferred on the basis of merit alone. The selection processes may include initial screenings by departmental faculty or internal committees. The winners are chosen by outside jurors, who are regional experts in their fields. All of these opportunities are designed to help women and non-binary artists bridge the gap between the world of education and the world of work.
