For Columbia College students, the completion of a significant body of work marks the passage from experimentation and exploration, to making a singular artistic statement.

The Albert P. Weisman Award was established in 1974 to encourage Columbia College Chicago students to complete just such a body of work. The Award is named for the late Al Weisman, a trustee of the college and one of Chicago's best known and respected communicators. Mr. Weisman was a journalist, publicist, teacher and mentor to many. The Weisman Award is intended to perpetuate his commitment to nurturing interest and excellence in all aspects of communication.

The Weisman Award provides funding to a limited number of students in a variety of media who need financial assistance in order to finish a significant project, up to $4000.

Sponsorship:

The Albert P. Weisman Award is made possible by the generosity of Tony Weisman, the Weisman committee and the many friends of Albert P. Weisman who donate both time and resources to make this award possible.
