Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs & Provost
McKnight Arts & Humanities Endowment
The McKnight Arts and Humanities Endowment was established in 1991 with a generous grant from the McKnight Foundation, a non-profit organization in Minnesota. From the beginning, the Endowment’s mission has been to support, sustain, and enliven arts and humanities research and activities on the four University campuses. Each year it fulfills that mission by supporting scholarly and creative projects and initiatives that benefit the University community and communities beyond.
Funds have been re-directed from the McKnight Arts and Humanities Endowment, the Graduate School, and the Office of the Vice President for Research to a new larger Arts and Humanities Initiative within the Provost's Office (details forthcoming in September 2008).
As a result of the exciting new Initiative, the former McKnight Endowment programs have been discontinued:
Summer Fellowship
Research Award
Events and Initiatives
International Travel Grant
