The SIFF performance thesis grant, established through the generosity of Gallatin master's alumna Karen Siff, is designed to help those graduate students who are writing a performance thesis with the costs associated with the production of their performances.
For support for non-performance theses, please see the Graduate Thesis Support Fund (TSF) . Please note: Masters students may apply to EITHER the Gallatin Thesis Support Fund OR the Siff Performance Thesis grant program, but not to both.
Applicants must be current M.A. students in the Gallatin School, with an approved thesis proposal. A SIFF grant may be used for the renting of performance and rehearsal space, film and video equipment, and other miscellaneous expenses incurred through the production of a performance piece. SIFF grant funds may not be used to cover expenses incurred prior to the receipt of the award.
All applications require a project proposal and a proposed budget. The entire proposal must be submitted using this form. Applications are reviewed by the Gallatin Interdisciplinary Arts Committee. Awards range from $750 to $1,000 and will be dispersed directly to the awardee. Please be advised that this award is taxable income under U.S. tax law. Grants may be used in the fall or spring semesters. Students are required to submit a report detailing how the funds awarded were used to support the production of the thesis.
