Don't delay! The deadline to apply for scholarships for the 2023-2024 academic year is Wednesday, February 1st. Lamar Dodd School of Art scholarships provide undergraduate and graduate students financial support for tuition, special projects, and study abroad experiences. Interested applicants are encouraged to review key information on our Scholarship page before submitting an application. 

In 2022, the School of Art awarded approximately $60,000 in merit, departmental, study abroad, and graduate scholarships, with an average range of $500 - $2,000 per award. These scholarships are awarded each academic year through an application process that opens in the late fall semester and closes in early spring. Scholarship recipients are announced by late spring, and scholarship funds are awarded for the subsequent fall semester.

Our scholarships are made possible through generous contributions to the School that recognize and encourage academic and professional achievement. Please carefully review our timeline, requirements, and process below before consulting our lists of awards and submitting an application!
