The Calloway Scholarships Application to the Department of Art begins with an indication of interest in the Bachelor of Art degree, BA ART, on the university application form. It is important to point out that there is no portfolio review required for University of Delaware acceptance to the Department of Art as a BA ART major. The J. Clifford and Leslie Blackwell Calloway Scholarship recognizes through scholarship support, strong artistic talent in entering freshmen. The Calloway Scholarship was established through the endowment gift of Mrs. Leslie Calloway, who also established the criteria for the scholarship award. Candidates for the scholarship must meet the qualifications of academic merit, portfolio talent, and financial need to be eligible for the Calloway Scholarship.
Awards are renewable for four years of study.
Recipients must continue as art majors throughout their undergraduate career, maintain a 3.0 ART GPA in all art courses, and maintain a 2.67 GPA in overall university courses in order to maintain the scholarship. Every student applying to the University of Delaware as an art major, BA ART, is automatically reviewed for Calloway scholarship eligibility according to the guidelines of the scholarship. There is no separate application to begin the process. Students offered admission to the University of Delaware and identified as eligible for the first criterion of academic merit as determined by the Office of Admissions are invited to participate in the one day art department portfolio review for artistic talent during the month of April. The result is a ranked list of portfolios.
