The Dedalus Foundation awards two annual fellowships to students in painting or sculpture who are entering their final year in an M.F.A. degree program at a college, university, or art school in the United States. Each fellowship carries a stipend of $20,000. Applications are solicited annually from M.F.A. programs throughout the country, with each program nominating two candidates. The fellowship awards are made by a committee of distinguished artists and critics.

Please note: Applications must be made through nomination by the M.F.A. program. Qualified M.F.A. students should ask their department chairs for more information. (Department chairs seeking further information should contact: Grants Administrator, Dedalus Foundation, 555 West 57th Street, Suite 1222, New York, N.Y. 10019; or email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).)
