Research Scholarships
The breadth of the Collection's educational component is created by student researchers.
Our hands-on educational approach allows our student researchers to work directly with the Collection by conducting research and learning vital museum management skills such as museum database infrastructure, proper handling, care, installation, and conservation of artwork.
This searchable database was created completely by Student Researchers/Gallery Assistants.
This research initiative has increased the visibility of the art collection by placing works of art into the daily lives of the campus community - complemented by a newly implemented self-guided educational audio tour this is continuously growing.
All inquiries of financial support and/or donations must begin with APSU's Office of Alumni, Engagement and Philanthropy.
