Studio Art Spring Portfolio Review
Each spring, usually in March, the Department of Art and Art History conducts a Scholarship Portfolio Review as a means of determining awards for studio art majors. Portfolios are handed in at the department office (161 Art Bldg). Ceramics and sculpture are reviewed at the same time in designated areas.

Department faculty examine all student entries, and scholarship selections for the following academic year are made at that time. One-year scholarships may be renewable based on the outcome of the portfolio review and/or student performance. Following the review, award recipients are notified electroniclally or by mail.
