You can finance your degree through combinations of scholarships awarded by our college, university scholarships, financial aid, and private scholarships.
College of Fine Arts scholarship awards
When you are admitted as a freshman 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 offered by our college and the university.
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.
