The recommended applicants are further evaluated to determine who is selected for the actual award. The deadline for consideration is the same as the application deadline. The awards are very limited and the selection is very competitive. Once they are admitted to the school, graduate students can apply for assistantship positions that are available each semester. The positions are listed and application forms are available in the Career Development Center located on the 7th floor of the Sharp building.
Students can apply within their departments for graduate or teaching assistantships.
Usually, students must be in their second semester before they are considered for teaching assistantships. The FYP instructors recommend those students whose work has been outstanding during the academic year and who were not awarded a scholarship during the admissions process. At the end of the academic year, students who have been recommended must submit samples of their artwork to the FYP office in order to be reviewed. Awards will be announced shortly after the completion of the semester. This scholarship is based on financial need.
