Scholarship of Merit

Kendall is committed to providing scholarships to qualified students. More than $950,000 in Scholarships of Merit are awarded annually to current and new undergraduate students. Awards range from $1,000 to $6,000 per year based on full-time enrollment (12 or more credits per semester) and are renewable if the student maintains at least a 3.00 GPA and demonstrates continued artistic growth. Part-time (6-11 credits per semester) student awards are pro-rated.

Application deadline for “new students” for the academic year 2008-2009 is February 15, 2008 and must include the following:

  1. Six (6) images of your best work, which can be submitted via slides, CD Rom, DVD, or a Zip disk.
  2. One page Slide List, that corresponds to numbered slides and indicate title, medium, size, and date of completion.
  3. A self-addressed stamped envelope, large enough to fit slide sheet it. Without return envelope, images will not be returned.
  4. A completed Admissions File that includes transcripts from high school and/or college(s) previously attended, a statement of purpose, as described on the application, and portfolio review (enclosed work ok).
