Anne and Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarships
Program
Mr Gordon Samstag, late of Florida, USA, was a former staff member of the South Australian School of Art. In his will he made provision for a US$5 million gift for a trust fund to be set up to fund scholarships to enable Australian visual arts students to study overseas. The University of South Australia administers the Samstag scholarships which each year provide grants covering return fares, tuition fees, materials, equipment and reasonable living costs for 12 months with a possible six month extension for up to ten Australian artists to study overseas.
The following are eligible:
- graduates, of not more than five years standing by 30 June in each year, of a studio-based program at an Australian institution of higher education, or
- visual arts students currently enrolled in a studio-based program in an Australian institution of higher education who have completed at least two years of full-time equivalent study.
All applicants must be either Australian citizens or have permanent residency status, and be at least 18 years of age. Persons currently overseas may apply provided they are otherwise eligible in accordance with the above.
