Scholarships for New Students: Pathways to Support

We commit to making education accessible and affordable and offer a range of scholarships to support your educational goals.


Three Paths to Scholarship Funds

As an incoming student, you may qualify for scholarship funds by…

  • Automatic consideration via the application process
  • Automatic consideration via auditions and/or portfolio submissions
