Financial aid and awards
The Faculty of Fine Arts is proud to offer more scholarships and bursaries than any other UVic faculty, in addition to participating in various university-wide funding initiatives.
Art history & visual studies (AHVS) students may exclusively apply for these awards:
- Chapman Achievement Award
- Gerald G. Few Achievement Award
- Hallam Achievement Award
- Henriette Ann Schmidt Scholarship
You may also be considered for funding by completing the general bursary application (only one application is necessary to be considered for all bursaries):
AHVS will also nominate undergraduate students for these awards (you don't have to apply):
- Audrey St. Denys and M.E. Johnson Scholarship
- Dr. Carol Gibson Scholarship
- Flora Hamilton Burns Scholarship
- Martlet Chapter, Iode Prize for Scholarship in History in Art
- Patricia Burns Keir Prize in Canadian Art
- Stephen & Eunice Lowe Legacy Scholarship
Third- and fourth-year students may apply for a research opportunity under the mentorship of a faculty member via the Jamie Cassels Undergraduate Research Awards (JCURA).
Emergency bursaries for all students
The Student Awards and Financial Aid (SAFA) Office has emergency funding for students who experience unexpected or crisis situations.

Student job options
The UVic Work Study program also allows students to work in degree-related positions. There is normally an opportunity each year for a student to work with the visual resource curator.
