Funding

• Other funding opportunities: Yale has several awards, fellowships, and funds available to undergraduate art-makers in addition to the CPA. 

Web Hosting

• Yale/WIX Partnership: Yale College’s Office of Career Strategy has partnered with Wix to provide students with access to a unique, multi-year premium account where they can showcase and promote their portfolio website. While the promotion lasts, and on a first-request basis, the WIX/Yale Partnership will provide Yale students a personal code to activate a subsidized WIX premium account.

• YaleSites: YaleSites is a free web publishing service offered to Yale schools, departments, research labs and centers, registered student organizations, and other units to support the functions of the university.
