Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Professional Fellowship Program
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Undergraduate Fellowship Program
The Fellowship Program was established in 1940 through a generous contribution from the late John Lee Pratt of Fredericksburg. Today, the Fellowship Program is still largely funded through Mr. Pratt's endowment, and supplemented by annual gifts from the Lettie Pate Whitehead Foundation and the J. Warwick McClintic, Jr., Scholarship Fund, and by a special contribution from the Virginia Museum Foundation. The purpose of the Fellowship Program is to support Virginia's outstanding professional artists and art students by offering financial aid to pursue education or career advancement in the visual arts.
