Art scholarships
Bluffton awards three scholarships starting at $1,000 per year to promising and talented first-year students majoring in art, graphic design, art with teaching licensure, art and writing or pre-art therapy. The scholarships are renewable for four years for art majors maintaining a 2.5 GPA.
A portfolio of artwork is required for art scholarship consideration.
A portfolio represents your skills as an artist or designer, including craftsmanship,
technique, creativity and the ability to communicate visual ideas. High school seniors
use portfolios to gain admission to art schools and portfolio scholarships. Professionals
use them to secure employment.
