Art History Scholarships

The Department of Art History awards an unlimited number of art scholarships (up to $1,000) to incoming students every fall and one scholarship (up to $10,000) to an outstanding prospective student who has demonstrated exceptional talent and achievement in art history. Many other scholarships are available from Albion College and can be combined with scholarships from the department.

The purpose of the Art History Scholarship is to encourage the study of art history at Albion College. Through the study of art history students will come to a fuller appreciation of the visual world surrounding them; they will understand interconnections between the arts and other kinds of knowledge and will come to embrace the artistic process both for its resultant objects or performances, but also as an activity that produces multiple types of knowledge, satisfaction, values, habits of thought, and spiritual nourishment.

Application Process: Students who wish to be considered for the Art History Scholarship should submit an example of written work and plan to interview with members of the Art and Art History Department, preferably during one of the Interview, Audition, and Portfolio Review Day events. Any student accepted to Albion College is eligible for the scholarship. All scholarships are automatically renewable for all four years, as long as you are enrolled in one art or art history class each semester. You are not required to major or minor in art history.
