Any new or continuing students enrolled full-time in any BFA degree program who have a focused interest in photo-arts are eligible to apply for this competitive award.</p> <p>The Roloff Beny Awards Committee met in January, and after considering a very high quality and competitive group of applications, made the decision to give out three scholarships of equal value in the amount of $3,333 to Jason Jessen (<a href="http://www.uleth.ca/finearts/art" rel="nofollow">Art</a>), Evan Van Reekum (<a href="http://www.uleth.ca/finearts/new-media" rel="nofollow">New Media</a>) and Yan Luo (Art).</p> <p>Jessen is in his fourth year of study in a BFA in Art Studio program and has proposed to travel to northern Alberta to investigate the Cree aspect of his Yugoslavian/Cree hybrid identity. He will visit his home band, the Big Stone Band at Wabasca near Slave Lake, and do a photographic investigation of his indigenous identity.</p> <p>Van Reekum is in his third year of study in a BFA in New Media program. His goal is to travel to Ireland with the aim of producing photographic essays concentrating on ideas of history and abandonment.</p> <p>Luo is finishing his final year in a BFA in Art Studio program. He will endeavour to return to his home city of Shanghai to document issues of surveillance and authority with a new vision altered through his experiences living in North America.</p> <p>In 2005, the Roloff Beny Foundation endowed $860,000 to the Department of Art, Faculty of Fine Arts, to generate ongoing funding for student scholarships and infrastructure costs in traditional and digital photo-arts.</p> <p>In recognition of excellence in art instruction and research, the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge was one of five institutions across Canada selected for such an endowment. Since then $50,000 in scholarships have been awarded to students studying fine arts at the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge, providing them with a research-based travel opportunity in conjunction with their studies in photo-arts.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-city-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">City:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/city/shanghai" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Shanghai</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-facility-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facility:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/university-lethbridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/facility/art-studio" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Art Studio</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-industryterm-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">IndustryTerm:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/industry-term/research-based-travel-opportunity" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">research-based travel opportunity</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-naturalfeature-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">NaturalFeature:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/natural-feature/slave-lake" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Slave Lake</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-organization-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Organization:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/department-art" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Department of Art</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/roloff-beny-foundation" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Roloff Beny Foundation</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/university-lethbridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/faculty-fine-arts" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Faculty of Fine Arts</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/roloff-beny-awards-committee" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Roloff Beny Awards Committee</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/evan-van-reekum" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Evan Van Reekum</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/jason-jessen" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Jason Jessen</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/yan-luo" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Yan Luo</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-provinceorstate-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">ProvinceOrState:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/province-or-state/alberta" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Alberta</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="Students earn Roloff Beny awards" class="rdf-meta"></span> Fri, 07 May 2010 22:12:17 +0000 trevor.kenney 4476 at /unews
