Krenicki Arts & Engineering Scholarships
Deadline April 10, 2020 at 5 p.m.
The School of Engineering and the School of Fine Arts are pleased to announce a new undergraduate scholarship program, the Krenicki Arts & Engineering Scholarships. This program is made possible by the generosity of alumni John Krenicki (Mechanical Engineering) and Donna Krenicki (Graphic Design), and is an initiative of the new Krenicki Arts & Engineering Institute, which seeks to promote creative collaborations between the two fields.
Four scholarships may be awarded for the academic year 2020–2021, two to students in the School of Engineering and two to students in the School of Fine Arts. Each Krenicki Scholar will receive a scholarship of $5000. In addition, they will form part of a cohort who will meet on a regular basis to discuss their academic and creative work, and to participate in activities centered in the Krenicki Arts & Engineering Institute, including workshops, visiting speakers, and other events.
Applications are invited from undergraduate students pursuing majors in either the School of Engineering or the School of Fine Arts who currently have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above. Applicants should be able to demonstrate existing interests in both engineering and the arts, broadly defined, and a desire to explore further this intersection.

The Marks Family Endowment in Fine Arts enables School of Fine Arts undergraduate or graduate students, as part of their academic program, to perform, exhibit, or work in professional venues throughout the State of Connecticut. In past years award amounts have ranged from $500 to $5,000.
This award will be given to a student, or group of students, who designs a unique program, exhibition, or performance plan to be presented at venues in the State of Connecticut. Individual faculty and/or Departments may work with students to develop these projects, or students may develop them independently. For example, a proposal could include involvement with a professional theatre, orchestra, opera company, art museum, or gallery. The proposals should be creative, imaginative, and broad-reaching. Special consideration will be given to those proposals that foster “real life” professional performance experience, professional support related projects or visual artistic work/exhibitions.
