Partial graduate student stipends for the 30 students enrolled in the SUNY/Buffalo program in art conservation. Remaining stipend support comes from endowment funds, federal and private grants, university cost-share, and fundraising.

To ensure that our cultural heritage is soundly preserved, it is imperative that these graduate programs be maintained and supported by their respective universities in addition to national funding agencies.
