About this award

You can receive $36,000 in total, which is paid as $9,000 a year. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a talented artist entering the Fine Arts program who also demonstrates financial need and strong academic marks. You must submit your application by March 1. Note that this award is not available for students starting in January. When you apply, ask Mount Allison University how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection is based on your academic merit and financial need. There is only 1 award offered. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask Mount Allison University how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Mount Allison University during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. To keep this scholarship, you must achieve a 3.5 GPA with a course load of 30 course credits between the fall and winter terms combined. Since you cannot combine this with other scholarships, confirm with Mount Allison University if you are awarded multiple prizes which one provides the best overall value.

Tips for applying

• PortfolioAvoid submitting generic sketches or unfinished work. Instead, curate a collection of your strongest pieces that show your range and technical skill. Review the Fine Arts program's specific portfolio guidelines before you upload your files.
• SupportAvoid sending your transcripts late. Instead, ensure your most recent grades are sent immediately to the admissions office. If you are applying with Grade 11 marks, include your Grade 12 course list to show your current academic rigor.
• StrategyAvoid treating the scholarship application as a separate task. Instead, complete your admission and scholarship applications at the same time to ensure you meet the March 1 deadline. Double-check that your portfolio is linked correctly to your main application.
• RealismAvoid assuming your grades alone will win this award. Instead, remember that only 1 award is offered for the entire program. Focus on making your portfolio stand out as the primary way to distinguish yourself from other high-achieving artists.
