Creative Arts Fellows Program
A
collaborative program between
the David R. Hayworth School of Arts and Design and the School of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences
The Fellowship Advantage
The Creative Arts Fellows Program gives students a four-year, experiential scholastic experience within a diverse pool of creative minds. Working with dedicated program directors, students are given personal mentoring and networking opportunities to expand their professional options within the ever-changing world of the arts. Our programming is threefold, focusing on community building (personal and professional), experiential learning, and leadership development—culminating in a well-rounded graduate who can differentiate themselves in the public sphere.
WHO SHOULD APPLY?
Successful applicants to the Creative Arts Fellows program will have a declared major within the School of Arts and Design, including Studio Art, Graphic Design, Theater, Dance, Music, Interior Design, and Fashion Merchandising. The program is highly selective and is limited to the top 40 incoming students in applicable majors in each entering class.
SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
Creative Arts Fellows will receive a $3,000 SCHOLARSHIP renewable annually based on academic performance and continued participation in the program. This is in addition to any Presidential or High Point Scholarship. Fellows must meet GPA and professionalism requirements to be awarded continuation of their fellowship into the next academic year.
