The Department of Fine Arts is pleased to announce the 2020-2021 Fine Arts Scholarship
Competition. The competition is open to all degree seeking, undergraduate students
attending Winthrop University for the first time (freshman and transfer students)
during the 2021-2022 academic year. Students must declare a major within the Department
of Fine Arts: Studio Art (includes the disciplines of painting, jewelry/metals, sculpture,
printmaking, ceramics, photography, and video), Art Education, or Art History.
Scholarship amounts will vary based on the decision of the Fine Arts scholarship committee.
Students selected for an award have the opportunity to renew their scholarship for
up to three years after the initial award year providing they remain in good academic
standing as a full-time student in the Department of Fine Arts. Out-of-state students
selected for this award are eligible to receive the scholarship amount in addition
to an out-of-state tuition waiver (valued at $14,330 for the 2021-2022 academic year).
This scholarship is contingent on admission to Winthrop University. An online application can
be found at www.winthrop.edu/admissions. Acceptance of this award does not impact eligibility for other Winthrop academic
scholarships offered by the Office of Admissions.
Submission of a digital portfolio for review and critique by our internationally acclaimed faculty is open to students
planning to pursue degrees in Studio Art or Art Education. Digital essay submissions
are being accepted for students planning to pursue a degree in Art History.
After the November 30 priority deadline, digital portfolios/essays will be accepted
and awards will be disseminated on a rolling basis until available funds are exhausted.
Notification of Awards:
The first committee review will take place in early December after the priority deadline.
Results will be disseminated shortly after. Remaining award amounts will be disseminated
until available funds are exhausted.
