Helen Fong Dare Scholarship

The Helen Fong Dare Scholarship was established by Nancy Tom to honor her mother, who was a supporter of young artists. The scholarship awards up to $2000 to a student who has shown a commitment to Asian arts and media to produce a project he or she is interested in. Past submissions have included, but are not limited to: film, dance, animation, creative writing, multimedia, and photography.

Rules:
    • Applicants must be enrolled as full-time undergraduate or graduate student at Columbia College Chicago at the time of application.
    • Along with application describing what kind of project the money will go toward, students must submit a sample of their work. This can be previous work or a working progress.
    • Students who have applied before may apply again, but a student cannot win the award more than once.

Applications are generally available in February with a March deadline. Please contact the Center at (312) 344-8213 for more information.
