Overview

Thanks to a generous continuing donation to the Department of Art History from the Arts and Education Limited, funding is available to support student travel.

Arts and Education Travel Grants support travel for art history students with limited financial resources to view works of art first hand and/or to engage in art-related projects or activities such as internships, research projects, or summer school programmes.

The grants range between HK$3,000 and HK$10,000.
