The 2019-20 competition is now closed.
Scholarships for Incoming Art Freshmen & Transfers
Admitted art freshman and transfer students are automatically considered for Incoming Art Major Scholarships if they have:
- Indicated Art or Pre-Art Education on their main application
- Submitted a portfolio to Slideroom by February 1st.
Scholarship recipients must declare either BS-Art or Pre-Art Education during Student Orientation and Registration (SOAR) and participate in the Contemporary Art and Artists First Year Interest Group (Art FIG) in their first year.
Transferring art students who’ve already completed their art foundations courses are not required to participate in the Art FIG, but must declare an undergraduate art major during Transfer SOAR.
