• Student must be in good academic and disciplinary standing at the time of application and in order to renew each year.
• Students must complete the school application by the required deadline.
• Students may need to complete the FAFSA and meet the schools financial aid deadline.
• Most art schools require that students submit a portfolio of their work for review.
• All award winners receive funds only if they apply and are accepted into the school.
• Additional criteria for receiving a scholarship may apply. Check with each school's Financial Aid Office for more information.
