The Kelly McKinnell Memorial Award of $1,000 provides one undergraduate and one graduate student an opportunity to travel anywhere in the world to work on a photographic exploration and documentation project with the goal of promoting world cultural understanding or environmental awareness. The award is open to all enrolled UM students. Projects, including a culminating exhibition, must be completed before graduation from UM. The McKinnell Memorial Award has been established in memory of Art & Design alumna Kelly McKinnell. Kelly was the victim of a Chicago porch collapse in June 2003. The Scholarship, founded by Kelly's mother, Jean Ware, and Kelly's close friend, Warren Zinn, ensures that Kelly's passion for photography and travel live on.
