The ERNA Memorial Grant

#PayItForward

For most creative professionals, there is an understanding that our craft comes at a cost. However, many of us do not have a generous benefactor to help fund those needs that can positively impact a career. Attending conferences, paying for exams, or professional membership fees can feel impossible while avoiding the ‘starving artist’ trope. In an effort to pay it forward for the next generation of brilliant creatives and super humans, we have created the ERNA Memorial Grant.

The ERNA Memorial Grant seeks to Elevate, Retain, Nurture and Assist its awardee(s) in the amount of $1,333.00, which can be used toward professional development. Please complete the application below. The application fee is $33.00 and can be paid online. The deadline is December 31st, 2023 at midnight. If you have supporting materials (recommendation letters, portfolio, or work samples) that you would like to support your application, please send them to info@wallendaub.com with the subject line : ERNA Grant 2023 Supporting Material – Applicant’s Last Name.
