FAQs
Is a portfolio required for admission?
No, a portfolio is not required. Students majoring in Fashion Design, Film & Moving Image, and Graphic Design are able to submit a portfolio and will automatically be considered for a scholarship if all required materials are received by the posted deadlines.
How will I know if I am a contender for the scholarships?
Finalists will be invited to campus to meet with faculty for an interview. At that time, finalists will be asked to bring a resume and portfolio. Applicants for Fashion Design will also be asked to bring two sample garments.
What if I don鈥檛 have a portfolio?
Most students who have been taking courses in art, design, fashion or film can put together a portfolio of work with the help of a teacher or mentor. Ask a high school art teacher or artists in your community for help selecting your best work to submit.
How should I photograph my work?
Submit only crisp, clear high-res images that accurately represent the work. To the degree possible, make sure the work is not distorted in the photograph and that the colors accurately reflect the original artwork. Consider what is showing in the background. When photographing two-dimensional work, you may choose to crop out the background. For three-dimensional work, you will want to place the work on a neutral background such as white, gray, or black.
I don鈥檛 know what to submit. Can you help?
Selecting your best work means choosing the work that you are most proud of. You may include pieces that show your sketches, your process, or finished work. Deciding what to include and not include鈥攖he editing of your work鈥攊s an important part of the application process. Therefore, we cannot give you individual feedback on what to submit.
I have more questions. Who do I contact?
Please direct questions about the portfolio-based visual arts scholarships to your admissions counselor.
