Students selected for the Arthur N. BecVar Artist in Residence Program receive $4,000 for the academic year during which they are working on their project. These funds will be paid to the recipient for their creative output and will be reported on federal Form 1099. Alternatively, a recipient may elect to receive the funds as a participating scholarship which will post directly to their student account and will be reported on federal Form 1098T pursuant to scholarship reporting requirements. 

The recipient is also eligible for up to $500 of reimbursement for supplies required for their project. Such reimbursement will require the completion of Bellarmine’s Reimbursement Expense Claim Form including original receipt(s); this reimbursement is non-taxable and does affect COA (cost of attendance calculations). The award will be administered through the Bellarmine University Business Office.
