The J.T. & Margaret Talkington College of Visual & Performing Arts (TCVPA) is committed to fostering excellence in all aspects of scholarly, creative, and artistic endeavors. At the heart of the college are our students. Drawn from a wide diversity of backgrounds and interests, Talkington College students represent the next generation of cutting-edge scholars, performers, and artistic leaders. 

To support our students' pursuit of excellence in their scholarly, creative, and artistic training, we are pleased to provide the TCVPA Research and Creative Activity Awards for Students. This opportunity provides a broad internal funding resource to the college's undergraduate and graduate student populations as they complete their studies and seek opportunities for intellectual and professional growth.

Graduate and undergraduate students may submit one proposal each academic year, following the guidelines below. Funding will be awarded on a first come, first-served basis, until available funds have been completely expended in each academic year (September 1 - August 31). Students are strongly encouraged to apply early to improve their likelihood of receiving support.
