Description:
The Cintas Foundation was established with funds from the estate
of the late Oscar B. Cintas, a former Cuban ambassador to the
United States and a prominent industrialist and patron of the
arts. Cintas Fellowships acknowledge demonstrated creative accomplishments
and encourage the development of creative artists in architecture,
literature, music composition, and the visual arts. Past recipients
include Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist Oscar Hijuelos, the painter
Juan Boza, and acclaimed composer and musician Tania Leon.
Cintas Fellows
are free to pursue their artistic activities as they wish, in
the United States or in other countries approved by the Cintas
Foundation, Inc. Fellows will be asked to submit interim and final
reports to the U.S. Student Programs Division of the Institute
of International Education. Fellows also contribute one work completed
during the fellowship year to the Cintas Foundation, Inc., for
inclusion in the Cintas Collection at The Art Museum of Florida
International University in Miami, Florida. Fellowships are awarded
annually in the amount of $15,000 each and are paid in quarterly
stipends, beginning in September, for twelve consecutive months.
