Three $5000 Fellowship Project Grants are given annually:

•The Student Grant supports the project of an undergraduate or graduate student currently studying at Parsons, The New School for Design.

•The Scholar/Practitioner Grant supports the project of a current faculty member or group of faculty members from any New School division, or an outside scholar/scholar group, or a practitioner from within any design field.

•The Collaborative Team Grant supports the project of a team of Parsons students working in collaboration from within three or more of the five Schools of Parsons the New School for Design. The five Schools are: The School of Art and Design History and Theory; The School of Art, Media, and Technology; The School of Fashion; The School of Constructed Environments; The School of Design Strategies.
