HOW TO APPLY
Before applying, we recommend that you read our
Pre-College Summer Scholarship frequently asked questions. To apply for a Pre-College scholarship, please submit:
1. A completed scholarship application. Be sure to write neatly and legibly so that your application is easy to read.
2. An essay of 300-500 words describing your prior art studies and what you hope to gain from attending the Corcoran's Pre-College program.
3. At least one recommendation form, preferably from your current art teacher. The recommendation form should be in a sealed envelope and the teacher should sign across this seal.
4. Five digital images (no more, no less, please) of work from your portfolio, including one self portrait and four pieces of your best work. Students applying for scholarships for one of the Focus (photography) programs should submit a self-portrait in the form of a photograph. Digital images should be at least 300–500KB, and formatted as .jpg, .pdf, .png or .tif files and saved on a CD-ROM.
Students applying for need-based scholarships must also provide a letter from a parent or guardian explaining the family’s financial circumstances.
Once you have all of the items listed above, send the complete package to:
