Scholarships

  • Attend SEI at no cost.

    The Samuel H. Kress Foundation is once again generously funding scholarships for SEI 2024. This year, due to the reduced registration fee for the online workshop, we are able to fund more scholarships than in previous years.

    Kress Scholarship recipients receive complimentary registration to SEI.

  • Spots are limited.

    Applications for the 2024 Kress Scholarship will be accepted February 12 through February 26 at 5pm EST.

    Recipients will be notified by Monday, March 11.

    SEI is no longer accepting applications for the 2024 Kress Scholarship

  • What to expect.

    SEI 2024 is a live event and all workshops will be taught synchronously. Kress Scholarship recipients are expected to participate fully in the entire workshop. We encourage you to review the schedule before applying.

    Each Kress Scholarship recipient will be required to write a summary detailing how they benefitted from SEI and the scholarship upon completion of SEI 2024.

    All applications will be evaluated by the SEI Co-chairs based on the criteria established for the award and any additional directions from the Kress Foundation. Priority will be given to ARLIS/NA and VRA members and those who are in graduate school, professionals who have a financial need, or who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).

    The application form requires you to log in with a Google account—if you have any questions or run into problems, please email the SEI Team.
