Steps to Complete the Scholarship Application in the StudyAway Portal:
- Complete the SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION in the StudyAway Portal.
- Write a brief SCHOLARSHIP ESSAY that outlines your educational, personal, and professional goals and explains, in turn, how these connect to your plans for study abroad.
- Request a LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION attesting to your academic qualifications and personal attributes. Ask your evaluator to explain how they know you and what type of opportunity they have had to observe your academic and personal accomplishments. Ideally, you should seek a letter from a professor or instructor who has taught you in an advanced or challenging subject. If you choose a recommender who is not university faculty, they should speak to extra-curricular or work activities that are highly relevant to your major or other professional goals. A letter from a relative is not appropriate. We can only accept recommendations sent directly by the person recommending you (not through you).
- Upload image files of 5 “PORTFOLIO SAMPLES” of your work, or writing samples for non-studio Art majors (ex: Art History majors/minors).
