Three senior winners are selected by the judges and offered scholarships to attend SCAD upon application and admission to the university. Scholarship amounts are per year and are renewable until completion of a bachelor’s degree (225 attempted quarter hours), as long as the recipient maintains a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0. SCAD Challenge scholarships may be added to any other artistic, academic and need-based scholarships for which students qualify.
