Summary: Supports UND Arts & Sciences faculty for creative and scholarly projects in the fine arts and humanities.
The Fine Arts and Humanities Scholarship Initiative at the University of North Dakota (UND) College of Arts & Sciences provides internal funding to faculty for projects that advance creative activity and scholarship in the fine arts and humanities. The initiative aims to enrich disciplinary scholarship, enhance the visibility of the arts and humanities both locally and regionally, offer discovery and training opportunities for students, and, when appropriate, lay the groundwork for external funding proposals. Projects should demonstrate scholarly merit, potential for publication or public dissemination, and clear benefits to the academic and broader community.
