Scholarships
The School of Arts and Humanities has funding opportunities available to students directly through the School.
The Robert Plant Armstrong Fellowship
The privately endowed Armstrong Fellowship Program in the School of Arts & Humanities at UT Dallas permits the graduate program to award a few modest fellowships each academic year. In contrast to teaching assistantships, which involve part-time work for the school and are based solely on students' academic record, these fellowships are based on financial need as well as academic merit. Thus, applicants must provide the fellowship committee information on their incomes as well as estimated expenses. For more information about the fellowships
Belofsky Fellowships in Holocaust Studies
The Edward and Wilhelmina Ackerman Foundation created the Belofsky Fellowship to develop the next generation of Holocaust educators. Belofsky Fellows have the opportunity to pursue doctoral studies under the supervision of Dr. Zsuzsanna Ozsvath or Dr. Nils Roemer, both of whom teach and pursue research at the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies. Award is made by a faculty committee through a competitive application process.
Bryce and Jonelle Jordan Scholarship Fund
The Bryce and Jonelle Jordan Scholarship Fund was established in 1981 to support undergraduate music students at the University of Texas at Dallas. Bryce Jordan, flutist and musicologist, was the first President of UT Dallas. It has since been extended, with Dr. Jordan's approval, to provide financial support for undergraduate students in any of the creative and performing arts. Scholarships are awarded in two different ways.
Bryce and Jonelle Jordan Scholarships for Creative and Performing Arts
The School of Arts and Humanities awards these scholarships in the Art and Performance area, which includes music, theatre, dance, creative writing, and the visual arts. Scholarships are awarded from $500 to $1000 per long semester to students who are or will be full-time students. Preference is given to students who major in Art and Performance, but may also be awarded to students who minor in the arts or can demonstrate the ability to make an outstanding contribution to the arts program. Student must apply for these scholarships. For more information and an application form.
Bryce and Jonelle Jordan Awards
Annually at the Spring Arts Festival, the School of Arts and Humanities presents Bryce Jordan Awards to undergraduate students in recognition of extraordinary contributions to the arts during the preceding academic year. Students must be nominated by a member of the Art and Performance faculty, be planning to enroll for the following Fall Semester and be full-time students in good academic standing. For more information about the awards.
