One-Year Scholarships (non-renewable)
$5,000.00
Texas Tech University's Carnegie distinctions of "Research University - High Research Activity" and "Engaged Institution" constitute significant recognition of our research and graduate programs. The College of Visual & Performing Arts offers ten one-time competitive scholarships in the amount of $5,000.00 for students entering its graduate degree programs in Art, Music, and Theatre who are beginning their studies during summer or fall 2010. The specific purpose of these scholarships is to recruit new graduate students who will be vital to expanding our creative / research initiatives.
Continuing Support: The College of Visual & Performing Arts will provide $1,000.00 scholarships (contingent on funding) during each of 2 years subsequent to the original award, provided that students maintain satisfactory progress and good standing according to standards of the department or school and the Graduate School. Home departments will provide additional support during each of the 2 years subsequent to the recruitment award.
Eligibility: Applicants to our terminal degree programs (MFA, DMA, PHD) constitute highest priority candidates; masters applicants of truly exceptional quality can be considered.
Criteria include: All factors surrounding academic / creative scholarship required by the degree program; demonstrated record of community service and involvement.
