Scholarships are awarded based upon a review of the applicant’s visual portfolio by faculty of the Art Department. You will have the opportunity to share and discuss your portfolio with art faculty — talking about your ideas, materials, process, and aspirations as a developing artist. In-person reviews include a personal tour of the studio art facilities with a member of the faculty.
