Student Spike! grants support student-driven, student-led, student-performed art on campus. Thanks to the generous giving of members, Friends of the Arts developed the grant program to help encourage extracurricular student art on campus. We believe in the creativity and artistic innovation of Davidson students, and we hope to enhance the arts culture on campus.
Grants can be in any art genre including (but not limited to) theatre, film, music, dance, visual art, spoken word, and creative writing. Additional details and conditions are as follows.
Fall applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on September 30. Spring applications must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. on January 30. Applicants will receive notification of awards as soon as possible. Download the Spike! Grant Application (DOC).
Student Grants will be distributed through a college project account. Grant recipients are expected to keep receipts and submit them for verification. Grant recipients will be expected to attend an orientation meeting, have regular check-ins, document their creative process, and do an on-campus presentation of the completed project.
