The Edith Fergus Gilmore Materials and Scholarship Fund was established with gifts from John C. and Elizabeth O. Fergus, and Robert H. Fergus, in honor of their mother, Edith Fergus-Gilmore.
The Edith Fergus Gilmore Scholarship Exhibition is a juried art competition open to studio-based visual art and design students at The Ohio State University. Students submit their work for review by a jury of faculty from the departments of Art, Arts Administration, Education and Policy (AAEP), Design, and History of Art. Scholarship winners receive a $1,000 scholarship applied to their student account and exhibit their work at the annual Edith Fergus Gilmore Scholarship Exhibition at Hopkins Hall Gallery, a group exhibition featuring work selected from the scholarship recipients' applications. Come see the winning submissions beginning in January at Hopkins Hall Gallery!
