Up to $500 for Emory College undergraduate students. Up to $1,000 for Emory University graduate students. Up to $1,500 for Emory College faculty and staff.

The Emory College Center for Creativity & Arts (CCA) stimulates artistic production and discourse through its grant program support of faculty, students, departments, and academic units at Emory College. The CCA welcomes proposals requesting grants to support Emory artists and arts-related projects. Grants are intended to support cultural activities outside of the regular academic responsibility of individuals, departments, or units.

College departments, programs, SGA-registered student groups, individual regular full-time faculty, regular staff, and currently enrolled University students (includes graduate students) are eligible to apply. Grants are to support creative projects that are original in nature. Faculty, students, and staff are encouraged to use the grants as opportunities to experiment and to cultivate new forms of artistic work. They may engage a single art form or a mixture of art forms, and may be exhibited, presented, or performed in on-campus as well as off-campus venues. Grants are awarded biannually for projects that have the potential to engage a wide audience. Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary projects, projects focusing on arts and science in the classroom, and projects on the topic of censorship are highly encouraged and will receive priority – these types of projects may build upon collaborative interests between departments, units, faculty or students. Also The maximum grants will be $500 for undergraduates/student groups, $1,000 for graduate students, and $1,500 for faculty and staff.
