Scholarships
You can finance your degree through combinations of scholarships awarded by our college, university scholarships, financial aid and private scholarships.
College of Fine Arts scholarships
When you are admitted to the College of Fine Arts, you will be considered for a limited number of available scholarship awards. We use information provided when you apply for admission to consider you. No additional scholarship application is required, although we highly recommend submission of the FAFSA/TASFA, which may be needed to be eligible for some awards. Most scholarship offers will be made by the end of March.
Whether or not you receive a scholarship as a freshman, continue to pursue current student funding opportunities through your department, the college, and the university. Learn more about scholarships for continuing students at the above tab labeled "Continuing Undergraduate Student."
University-wide scholarships and financial aid
You will be considered for many university-wide scholarships on the basis of your application for admission; additionally, you can take several steps to maximize your opportunities:
- Freshman applicants may submit the scholarship interest form via MyStatus after applying for admission and no later than Dec. 11, 2023.
