Applicants must apply by April 28, 2017, to be considered for 2017–18 scholarships. These scholarship awards will be based on high school GPA, submitted portfolios, and written statements as reviewed by a committee of LSU School of Art faculty.

• The written statement should address the question, “Why are you interested in the visual arts?” in 120 words or less.
