The Frances A. Kinnicutt Endowment Fund, administered by the Worcester Art Museum, provides deserving women opportunities to acquaint themselves with the arts of other countries or cultures through study and contact.

Awards are granted by the Museum's Board of Trustees upon the recommendation of the Kinnicutt Awards Committee. These awards are to help defray the expenses of travel and for study undertaken to introduce one to the fine arts, to further professional growth in the fine arts, or to enhance art-related goals of a personal nature.

Women residents of Worcester County and/or members of the Museum staff are eligible. Preference will be given to staff, contract employees, students, and volunteers. Previous award recipients are ineligible to apply for five years.

The exact amount of an award is not preset, but past awards have been in the range of $1,000 to $2,000. The award generally does not exceed 50% of the total cost of the travel to be undertaken. Awards provide partial funding to be supplemented by the applicant and are granted based on the merit of the proposal.
