ASU Hillel Presents the Joan Frazer Memorial Award for Judaism and the Arts
Do you do art in your spare time? Are you majoring in the arts?
Below are photos from the Joan Frazer Memorial Award Gala on March 31, 2019.
This award provides students at Arizona State University with up to $1,500 of funding to support the creation of original, artistic expressions combining the elements of Judaism and the arts. All works of art should in some way portray Judaism, Jews, Jewish community, or Jewish culture. Applicants can come from any academic major or department and need not be studying the arts to apply.
ASU Hillel is proud to run this scholarship program that encourages all students to link their Jewish and arts interests while showcasing their talents in a public presentation. The Joan Frazer Memorial Award for Judaism and the Arts was established at Hillel at Arizona State University in 2002.
