Step 1: Choose an Application Track
Registered Student Organizations (VSOs)
VSOs can apply for grants to support in-person (on-campus) and virtual events that are student-led, student-centered, and student-featured, including: student performances, exhibitions featuring students, arts-related workshops for students and arts-related speakers.
VSOs must apply for funding at least 4-6 weeks in advance of their event.
Awards range from $250-$5,000.
Individual Students
Individual students can apply for Maker Microgrants to support the creation and presentation of short-term (10 weeks or less), low-intensity extracurricular visual arts projects taking place within the Stanford campus.
Maker Microgrants are prioritized for emerging artistic voices within the Stanford community. Frosh/soph, transfer students, and first-time applicants are strongly encouraged to apply. We welcome creative works that emphasize intrapersonal growth in a technical and/or artistic skill, with focused project timelines.
Awards range from $150-$300. Please review the eligibility guidelines for more information.
