This year’s SVA Alumni Scholarship recipients are Carli Pierce and Irina Lee for their respective thesis work, which will premiere at the MFAD Thesis Forum on April 20.

“Alumni Scholarship Awards are given to fourth-year under-graduates and final year graduate students to aid in completion of their final thesis/portfolio project. These cash awards are intended to cover their project expenses, and range from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on the students’ project budget. The applications are ranked by an alumni panel whose recommendations are approved by the Alumni Society Board of Directors. A 3.0 cumulative GPA is required.”
