The Seventh Annual Grilled Cheese Grant

^{Say cheeeeeeese! The results are in!
Thank you to all that donated and voted during the Seventh Annual Grilled Cheese Grant. With your support, we raised a cumulative total of over $2,291 for 2022 finalists Ava Hager, Olivia Lorber, Lilly Luft, and Sha’Tuon Simpson, and Eduardo Zavala. We raised enough money to FULLY FUND two senior exhibition projects and partially fund the remaining three at around 60% of their total proposed budgets.

With a portion of the 2022 proceeds, Grilled Cheese Grant will be making a donation of $305 to Diverse & Resilient, a local sexual advocacy organization that supports the LGBTQ+ community.}
