All art history doctoral students are awarded a funding package as well as additional departmental resources to support them in their scholarly, pedagogical, and curatorial training.
Funding Package
Doctoral students in art history receive an annual stipend as well as full tuition and health insurance coverage. Please see the Humanities Division website for more information on funding packages.
Departmental Discretionary Research and Travel Funds
Each student in the program receives research and travel funds, $5,000 for pre-dissertation travel and other research expenses and $10,000 for post-ABD travel and other research expenses. Students may use these funds for any research-related expenses, including travel expenses such as airfare, lodging, and food; to visit museums, collections, archives, special exhibitions, and sites; museum entrance fees; language study; art-making classes; professional organization memberships; conference registration fees and conference-related travel; copies or scans of images for research; and image permissions or other publication fees.
Additional Funding Sources
The Department of Art History also competitively awards many internally endowed fellowships to support students’ language study, dissertation research, and other research expenses. Students enrolled in our program regularly win additional internal and external fellowships to enhance funding for dissertation research and writing beyond the Divisional funding package.
