All scholarships require a completed scholarship application, demonstrated excellence and an optional recommendation form from someone who knows the student in an artistic capacity. Students are welcome to submit application materials at any time during their high school fine art career but must be accepted for admission to receive an award.

  • Candidates are encouraged to submit their materials (portfolio, audition recording, resume, etc.) electronically.
  • If students have a campus visit planned prior to the January 15 priority consideration date, they are welcome to audition or interview in person, but no preference will be given to on-campus auditions versus recordings.
