Supporting SVA’s Most Promising Students
SVA Alumni Society, Inc. is an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation that works to provide support for SVA’s most promising students. The Alumni Society works in conjunction with the Alumni Affairs and Development office at the School of Visual Arts, serving as the vehicle for granting select student scholarships and merit awards and soliciting donations to fund the programs. Due to support from the School of Visual Arts, 100% of all donations to the Alumni Society go directly to the education and financial needs of current SVA students.
SVA Alumni Society provides a wide variety of scholarships and awards to students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels in all majors offered by the College. In addition to managing its flagship Alumni Scholarship Awards program, the Alumni Society also oversees more than two dozen funds that provide both merit- and need-based support to recipients. The assortment of scholarships allows the Alumni Society to provide assistance across majors, programs, and class years—touching more students’ lives every year.
