Eligibility
The competition is open to high school seniors who meet the criteria for admission to Kenyon College and who wish to pursue studio art in their four-year college experience. Those who want to be considered for studio art scholarships must submit their form by January 20. Students are not required to major in studio art, but will be expected to take studio art courses each year, and scholarship recipients are encouraged to major or minor in studio art. Each scholarship is worth $25,000 per year and is renewable for four years as long as the student maintains an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher. Subsequent interviews will not be necessary to renew the scholarship. All first-year applicants are eligible, including Early Decision applicants. Transfer students are not eligible.
How to Apply
Studio art scholarships are determined on a competitive basis and require the following:
- a completed form for a studio art scholarship.
- a portfolio uploaded onto your Admissions Portal account. (Applicants will receive their username and password within two days after submission of the application for admission.)
If you have any questions about portfolio materials or how to submit them, please contact Chris Renaud in the Office of Admissions at renaudc@kenyon.edu.
