Dear Students,

Below is a prospectus for six $500 grants, which will be competitively awarded next month to students currently enrolled in any ETB (Electronic & Time-Based) Art course at CMU. The grants will be awarded for the best project proposals, for projects which will be completed by the end of the semester. This is an ideal way of funding your final project. These grants are supported by the Fine Foundation.
