Andrew W. Mellon Fund for Faculty Innovation

The Andrew W. Mellon Fund for Faculty Innovation at the Princeton University Art Museum encourages innovative curricular initiatives that use the Art Museum’s collections in a significant way. The goal of the program is to support interdisciplinary study throughout the University and thoughtful use of the Museum’s global collections by fostering collaboration between faculty and the Art Museum. Grants are funded by an endowment from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as part of the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the role of academic art museums in the teaching and training of undergraduate and graduate students. Financial support is provided in the form of a one-time summer stipend in the amount of $10,000.
