Art Scholarship Criteria

Incoming Freshmen must submit a portfolio for scholarship consideration. An art portfolio or clearly defined and labeled photographs will be considered. It is recommended that a portfolio represent the student's ability in a variety of media. The portfolio should represent the student's strengths and best art.

The portfolio may consist of the following:

• Drawings
• Design Works
• Illustrations
• Paintings
• Ceramics

3-D artwork will not be accepted. Instead, please submit 2-3 well defined photographs of the 3-D work.

In addition, achievement awards or letters of recommendation are encouraged, but not required.

Selection Process
Students should allow two weeks for scholarship review and consideration. Once the review has been accomplished, an admissions counselor will be notified and the student's portfolio will be returned to the admissions office.

Scholarships are renewable and are based upon student's progress and performance - in art and overall academics.

Note: It is highly recommended that students receiving art scholarships take a minimum of one visual arts course per semester. Students are also expected to participate/assist in the art gallery exhibitions held each year at the Layman Art Gallery.
