Guidelines
Constantine Curris, former President of the University of Northern Iowa, provided funding for the Jo Hern Curris Award. It is designed to support expenses of students majoring in Art, Music, or Theatre when engaged in university-related exhibitions and performances. The award is to be used in support of student activities and outreach. Examples of such expenses could include, but are not limited to, expenses associated with a music recital, the mounting of an art exhibit, or a student theatre production. Funds cannot be used in support of anyone other than students; or in support of established events such as musical tours or dramatic productions, nor as a replacement for existing expenditures.
The maximum award is $500 per proposal. The actual amount of the award will depend on the quality of the application, as well as the costs involved in completion of the project. The recipients will receive the award as a credit to their University bill during the spring semester. If several students work together on a project, the dollar amount will be split equally among all participants.
Students majoring in Art, Theatre, or Music may apply, in writing, to the appropriate department head, who will evaluate and rank order the proposals before submitting them to the Dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts.
The application packet should consist of the following:
- Cover sheet: CHFA Jo Hern Curris Fund for Student Performance Application Form.
- Rationale for the project.
- Description or outline of the project, including a diagram, sample, or example, as appropriate to the nature of the proposal.
