Merit Scholarships

The Lamar Dodd School of Art offers students the opportunity to apply for competitive scholarships. The scholarships are open to full-time students majoring in any area of the visual arts. Preference is generally given to students who will be juniors or seniors, but in the final analysis, a variety of factors are taken into consideration before a decision is reached. Applications are screened by an appointed faculty committee, which has sole discretion in determining recipients of the awards.

Apply through the School's SlideRoom scholarship application page. 

 

To review Merit Scholarships, please review the list of awards here.

 


Scholarship Nominations By Department or Area

This group of scholarships supports students in specific areas of concentration at the Lamar Dodd School of Art. The scholarships are awarded based on nominations submitted during the spring semester by the chair or a faculty member of every area that has a designated scholarship at the School of Art.

While faculty are responsible for nominating students, nominated students must still apply for the award through the School's SlideRoom scholarship application page. 

 

To review Department or Area Scholarships, please review the list of awards here.

 


Study Abroad Scholarships

Study Abroad Scholarships include funding for independent experiential learning, the Lamar Dodd School of Art Maymester course in New York City and the Dodd Cortona Study Abroad program, which has consistently offered UGA students training in the arts in Italy since 1970.

Experiential Learning and Maymester Scholarships

Applications for non-Dodd Cortona Study Abroad awards are submitted through the School’s SlideRoom scholarship application page and are screened by an appointed faculty committee at the school, which has sole discretion in determining recipients of the awards.

Other Scholarship Opportunities

This scholarship is not awarded by the Lamar Dodd School of Art; however, its intent is to help students who are studying art and want to gain more cultural access to Germany. Courses taken in the Germanic and Slavic Department are required, too.

The Erika C. and Ward B. Lewis Award for German Studies

This award will be given to one or two German majors each academic year for study at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Germany. Preference will be given to candidates with an additional focus on Art or the Natural Sciences, and preference will be given to candidates who go abroad for a year.
