Grants and Funding

Grants & Funding

Hunter College Performing Arts Student Activity Fund Grant
Each semester, a portion of your Student Activity Fee (SAF) is set aside to cover projects that are initiated by and presented for Hunter students. At the beginning of each academic year, the Performing Arts Office accepts applications from students for performing arts projects for the Fall and Spring of the academic year. The goal of the SAF Fund for the Performing Arts is to provide opportunities for students to create projects or explore ideas in dance, film, music and theatre. Please Note: This grant does not give you a check prior to the project. It is distributed as a reimbursement and/or payment to vendors/personnel.
