There are five requirements for incoming Art majors to be considered the recipient of a talent-based scholarship: Letter of Intent, Portfolio, Interview, Resume, and Recommendation Letters. Review of applications is ongoing until scholarship funds for the year are exhausted. Artistic Merit Awards are only open to students majoring in Art (studio art or artistic management concentrations) or Communication (all concentrations).
