Art '96
Application
The
Department of Art at Emporia State University offers the
Art 96 Scholarship to an outstanding art student. The scholarship
amount is $1000. Eligibility is limited to currently enrolled
art majors entering their junior or senior years, and planning
to be enrolled in at least 12 hours each semester of the
coming school year. This scholarship is awarded on the
basis of artistic achievement and financial need.
Process:
The scholarship committee will choose two finalists. The donor of the
scholarship will then interview both finalists and select a winner. The
name of the recipient will be announced at the opening reception
of the Annual Student Art Exhibition.
Portfolio Guidelines:
*Scholarships are awarded on the basis of work submitted by prospective
candidates.
*Each applicant must submit a portfolio of up to ten works completed at
Emporia State University. Slides or digital images may be substituted for large-scale work
or original art that is not available.
*Growth should be evident by including work competed the year prior to
the current academic year. Students must be entering their junior or senior
year and have one year remaining at E.S.U.
*A cover letter stating educational background, status as an art
major at ESU, and interests and goals in art. If studying to
be an art teacher, specify level(s) of teaching preference. This is a
very important part of the competition. A poorly written letter
can eliminate you. It is recommended that you have your letter
proofed by a professor.
*All materials must be labeled with the following information:1) Name
2) Emporia address 3) Medium 4) Academic year work was completed.
*March 26, 2009 is the deadline for delivering
portfolios to be considered for the Art 96 Scholarship competition. Materials
received after this date will not be considered. Finalists are
announced on March 27th, and interviews conducted in early April (tba).
The name of the recipient will be announced at
the opening reception of the Annual Student Art Exhibition.
