SCAD Distinguished Scholars Award

Dear Educator,

I wanted to let you know about a great opportunity for you to help your top students achieve a premier education in art and design. SCAD invites you to nominate outstanding high school seniors for the
SCAD Distinguished Scholars Award, a prestigious scholarship in the amount of US$20,000 per year. To be considered, students must be recommended by a teacher, professor or school counselor. This scholarship is applicable toward tuition to attend SCAD in Atlanta, Hong Kong, Savannah or online via eLearning, and may be renewed annually, provided the recipient is enrolled and maintains a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0.

With more degree options, course offerings and global learning opportunities than any other nonprofit art and design university in the country, SCAD champions talented students like yours who go on to shape the future of the creative professions. In every program at every location, SCAD emphasizes learning through individual attention in a positively oriented university environment. Life at SCAD is active and engaging within and beyond the classroom. The university experience includes programs and activities that promote student interaction, leadership and community service.
