Art Scholarships

The School of Art awards over $50,000.00 in scholarships each year. In-state and out-of-state tuition waivers are also awarded as part of the scholarship process. Scholarships are awarded during the spring semester for the following academic year. All Art majors (Studio Art, Art History, Art Education), FAS, IDS and minors are encouraged to apply.

There are three types of scholarships available to our students:

  • School of Art
  • University of Arizona
  • Corporate/Private Foundations

Current UA undergraduate students must have at least a 3.0 cumulative and major GPA. GPA will be verified prior to review.
