We are initiating the call for applications to announce the College of Fine Arts & Communication’s largest student award! The Melvin R. Laird Exceptional Artist Award has been established by the Laird family and the Laird Endowment Advisory Board (LEAB) to honor an exceptional graduating student artist annually at UWSP.

 

The second $5,000 award will be given this spring, and I ask for your help in promoting this incredible opportunity to your talented graduating students.

Please review the attached application form, and share the information with your eligible students as soon as possible. Application materials are due in digital format on Monday March 26th by 12:00pm, to the UWSP Advancement Office, via email to snewby@uwsp.edu.

Given the significant size of the award, application requirements, and active involvement of the Laird family and the LEAB, I ask you to please proactively help students to complete high quality, compelling application materials. 

Several LEAB members will be actively involved in the selection process, so it’s essential we present a quality portfolio of applicants to reassure them of the value of their great investment in our students. 

Please contact Sarah Newby with any questions about the award, application process, etc.
