Scholarships

Traditional undergraduate students at Seton Hill University are considered for both financial need-based aid and merit-based aid. Need-based financial aid is awarded based on the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and includes grants, some scholarships, loans and work-study employment. Merit-based aid, including a wide variety of scholarships, is awarded to incoming students on the basis of academic excellence, demonstrated achievement in extra-curricular activities or special talents. The majority of our competitive financial aid packages combine need and merit-based aid.

Scholarships that are available for arts majors include:

• Division of Visual and Performing Arts Scholarships - renewable awards that vary from $1000 to full-tuition annually. To apply for a division scholarship, accepted students must submit a portfolio for review by February 13, 2013. Portfolio must include:

• A CD or USB drive containing JPG or PNG images (150 dpi or greater) of 10-12 pieces of original work in a variety of media.
• A cover letter containing name, address, major and list of artworks including title, media and size.

Portfolios should be submitted to: 

Brian Ferrell
Box 376F
Seton Hill Drive
Greensburg, PA 15601

Having a portfolio reviewed for a scholarship also satisfies the portfolio review requirement for admission to the Art Program.

• The Josefa Filkosky Scholarship - This scholarship will be awarded annually to a junior or senior art major who has consistently shown outstanding creativity and involvement in the production of challenging and high quality art works and who also shows promise of being serious in their pursuit of continued growth as an artist and in their knowledge of art.
