Tyler School of Art
Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia is a leader in educating artists since the early 1930s. Tyler is ranked among the top ten MFA programs in Painting and Sculpture by U.S. News and World Report. The MFA program at the Tyler School of Art is a two-year, full-time, studio-based program rooted in a rich history within a globally influenced, culturally diverse and technologically advancing world. We are committed to providing our students with an understanding of the broad cultural and historical context in which art is made and experienced. Tyler is committed to academic excellence and diversity among its faculty, staff, and student body.
Our notable alumni include: Dennis Adams, Polly Apfelbaum, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Cecelia Condit, Trenton Doyle Hancock, Angela Dufresne, Louise Fishman, Robert Gober, Hans Haacke, Virgil Marti, Lisa Sigal, Laurie Simmons, Hannah Wilke, Lisa Yuskavage among others.
The Ilya and Emilia Kabakov Fellowship is an honorary award established in 2012 in honor of the Russian-born, American-based artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov. The fellowship will be awarded to a Tyler School of Art student from the Sculpture department completing an MFA degree whose achievement has been recognized as demonstrating extraordinary promise in any area of artistic practice.
The Odili Donald Odita Scholarship in Painting was established through the generous support of The Ronald and Jo Carole Lauder Foundation. The scholarship will provide a one-year tuition scholarship for an MFA student in Painting with financial need. Recipients may retain this scholarship for up to two years provided they maintain a grade point average of 3.5 or above. All accepted students who have not received University funding in the form of a Temple University Fellowship or a Temple University Future Faculty Fellowship will be eligible for consideration.
