The selection of students to receive Art Area Scholarships will be made by the Art Area Faculty committee as a whole. Names of selected students must be submitted to the University Scholarship Committee for review and will be forwarded to the Office of Student Financial Aid for final approval.

Students should apply annually for Art Scholarships by submitting an Application for Scholarship no later than March 15.

Art Area Scholarships are renewable. Faculty will review portfolios annually and recipient must maintain a minimum overall 2.75 GPA and 3.25 GPA in art classes. Students who fall below these requirements can reapply for the Art Area Scholarship after raising their GPA back to minimum requirements and resubmitting a portfolio. Studio Art majors who work full-time and are part-time students can apply for the scholarships per amount listed above. However, no student is eligible for the scholarship more than 8 semesters.

SCHOLARSHIP APPEAL PROCESS Students who do not meet the minimum criteria for renewal may appeal to the Scholarship Committee once during their academic career, unless they have met the maximum 8 semesters/4 years. The Scholarship Appeals Committee considers appeals based on a variety of extenuating circumstances such as personal illness or injury, death of an immediate family member, or other evidence of mental or physical hardship. Students wishing to appeal have 10 days from receiving status notification to submit the following documentation:
