Incoming Freshman and Transfer Student Scholarships
Scholarship amounts vary from year
to year but are generally between $200 and $1000 each. To qualify you must

These scholarships are awarded on the basis of artistic achievement. You

and application dates through the Financial Aid Office.
Awards
Scholarships are awarded on the
basis of portfolios submitted by prospective students. A portfolio
of ten digital images on a CD, each showing a different work must be
submitted by each applicant. At least three of the images must be of
drawings and at least one of the images must be of a three-dimensional
work. Each image must be labeled with the following information: your
name, medium and size.
It is to your benefit to present
your work with the best images possible. Ask your art teacher for suggestions
on photographing your art.

With your portfolio, include a cover letter stating
the high school you attended and your status as a new freshman or transfer
student and include a statement of your interest and goals in art. If you aspire
to be an art teacher, specify whether you plan to teach art at the secondary
school level only or at both the elementary and secondary school levels. Remember
