GRANTS & FUNDING //

 

This is a subject guide for finding materials on grants and artists residencies in the University Libraries. Note that there is a difference between a grant and a scholarship. Many grants are for organizations, not individuals. Also consult the subject guide, "Financial Aid and Scholarships." Send any questions about this topic to Mary Louise Castaldi, Reference Librarian, at mcastaldi@uarts.edu.

Searching the Catalog by Subject

Use it to find books, videos, CDs, scores, journal titles, etc. To locate all of the materials the library holds on a topic, it is most efficient to search by subject. Use the following SUBJECT HEADINGS to find materials in addition to the Reference Books listed above. Be careful to follow the exact spelling and form. These subject headings are standard and are used in most libraries.
