Spring 2023 Art Scholarships

For the 2022-2023 academic year, students who would like to apply for art scholarships must complete the general scholarship application on the SRJC Scholarships website through AwardSpring. Completing the general scholarship application will also show students if they are eligible for additional campus wide scholarships, as well as art scholarships. 

In addition to filling out the general scholarship application from on AwardSpring, art scholarships require a portfolio review of the work. Students will be required to upload photographs of their art for portfolio review. 

Please review the following guidelines to confirm eligibility:
