THE REGINA BROWN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT FELLOWSHIP

It is a pleasure to announce The 11th Regina Brown Undergraduate Student Fellowship Awards to be presented next April at our annual conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is an annual award open to NCECA Members who are full-time undergraduate students matriculated in a degree program at an accredited college, university or art institute in the U.S. at the time of the application deadline. The student must have attained the classification of at least a junior or its equivalent. There is no age limit. Anyone who has received a major grant or fellowship is not eligible. Applications are to be supported by two (2) letters of recommendation written by a ceramics teacher who has taught the student, along with one additional letter of support. The student must make a project proposal for use of the $1,800.00 award (cannot include payment of tuition) and must submit additional materials as specified in the “Instructions for Nominations.” A maximum of three awards may be made, of which $1,300.00 is presented at the conference. The balance of $500.00 is paid when a project report is submitted to the NCECA office. The selection committee includes the Past President (chair), the Student DAL and a third ceramist of stature (an Honorary Member whenever possible) appointed by the President. All materials must be submitted electronically by February 19, 2010.
