Scholarships, Grants and Awards
At the Frostic School of Art, we believe financial support should follow talent and dedication. Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and emeriti, we offer a wide range of endowed scholarships designed to help you focus on what matters most: your art.

Current students can find and apply for all available art scholarships through Scholarship Universe.

You don’t need to fill out a separate form to be considered for our entry scholarships. Your SlideRoom portfolio serves as your application, making it easier for you to get started at Western.
