Special Funds for Majors

Alfred J. Hyslop/W. Dean Warnholtz Art Fund

Hyslop-Warnholtz funds are available to help support art history and studio majors who wish to pursue supplementary educational opportunities. Professor Hyslop came to Carleton from Edinburgh in the 1920s and was Carleton’s first full-time art teacher, becoming chairman of the department twelve years later. He retired in 1963 and the Alfred Hyslop Scholarship Fund was created in his honor in 1967. W. Dean Warnholtz earned his BA and MFA degrees at the State University of Iowa. He came to Carleton in 1949 and remained a popular member of the faculty for 33 years. Professor Warnholtz was also a distinguished painter and printmaker, earning many awards for his work and endowment funds were added to honor Warnholtz’s contributions to the field in 1994. Previous majors have used these funds for study at the Yale Summer School of Art, the Anderson Ranch in Aspen, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and to finance study abroad. Apply to the Chair. A short written thank you to the families of the donors is required upon completion of the project/trip. Students may be awarded one grant per academic year

Ted Everett Art Fund

Everett funds are allocated to senior studio majors to help them buy materials for their studio comps. Edward A. Everett II  (’43) served as a private first class infantry soldier during WWII. He was killed in action on October 2, 1944 in southern France. Everett directed the fund be established in case of his death as a scholarship for students who might not be able to afford art materials, stating:
Since I won’t have had my chance to do anything or in any way make my mark in the world, I’d like to at least help some other fellows do the things I wanted to do or at least finish the education this war prevented me from finishing.

Ursula Hemingway Jepson Memorial Award

The Jepson award recognizes outstanding junior studio art students. The award was established in 1968 by Jasper Jepson to honor his wife, Ursula Hemingway Jepson, both members of the Class of 1925. Funds provide an annual cash award to three outstanding junior majors in studio art.

Toni Award in the Arts

The Toni award is housed in the Office of the Director of the Arts at Carleton, and is given to a Carleton student whose character reflects the values, devotion, and spirit of beloved teacher Antoinette “Toni” Sostek.

Talia Goldenberg ’12 Award in Studio Art

This award was established in 2014 to honor the memory of Talia Goldenberg. Talia exhibited delight in the world, compassion for others, and courage and tenacity in facing life’s challenges. This award recognizes senior studio art majors with extraordinary promise who also embody Talia’s spirit of community and humaneness and have completed their comprehensive exercise. Selections are made by the art department.
