ARCHIVED-Eligibility

The Sachs Program for Arts Innovation provides grants to members of the Penn community, including students, faculty, staff, departments, programs, and centers. Applicants must have a current affiliation with Penn that is anticipated to extend through the completion of any funded project. Non-full-time faculty and staff must also have been employed at Penn for at least one academic year before they are eligible to apply. Grants are available through specific funding tracks, by which we offer opportunities to all Penn affiliates including individuals, schools, departments, centers, programs and institutes. Some funding tracks are limited to specific groups, as outlined below.

  • Ben Art Bucks
    Undergraduate and graduate students, as well as student groups, are eligible to apply for Ben Art Bucks.
  • Student Arts Innovation Grants
    Undergraduate and graduate students, as well as student groups, are eligible to apply for Student Arts Innovation Grants.
  • Arts Course Development

For the latter, two partners will apply together. One must identify as being, or being a part of, an arts department, program, or center; the other must identify as being traditionally outside of the arts.
  • Student Engagement Grants
    Departments, programs, and centers are eligible to apply for Student Engagement Grants. (Note: students will now apply to a separate category for their own projects)

Grant opportunities and eligibility may change year-to-year. Collaborations with individuals, groups, and organizations external to Penn are encouraged, and can presently be supported through a grant to a member of the Penn community.
