Art Scholarships

Art scholarships are granted to students pursuing the Bachelor of Arts degree in Art. The art faculty selects students to receive scholarships based on personal interviews and surveys of student portfolios. Your portfolio should contain examples of your work with emphasis on drawing ability. Other work that shows skills in painting, digital, design and photography may be included. A sketchbook of good drawings is strongly suggested. Portfolios are judged on skill, originality and seriousness of purpose.

Music Scholarships

Music major scholarships are awarded to students pursuing the Bachelor of Music Education or the Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and are based on the students’ auditions/interviews. For the audition, you are asked to perform two contrasting compositions of your choice. Percussionists should audition on as many different percussion instruments as possible (snare drum, drum set, mallets, timpani). If your repertoire requires an accompaniment, you may bring your own accompanist, use an accompaniment tape or CD (an audio system will be available on-site) or use a Young Harris College staff accompanist. View the YHC Music Student Handbook for further information concerning auditions. To apply and receive more detailed information about music audition requirements, click here.

BFA Musical Theatre program and Scholarship auditions

Musical Theatre scholarships are available to students pursuing a BFA in Musical Theatre.  Incoming freshmen are selected to receive scholarships based on auditions, diagnostics and interviews. Admission into the BFA Musical Theatre Program is by audition only.  Your scholarship audition will double as your program audition.

BA THEATRICAL DESIGN AND PRODUCTION

Please note: A student may not double major in two of the fine arts areas (art, music, musical theatre and theatre). Therefore, if you audition in more than one area and are offered multiple scholarships, you may accept only one fine arts scholarship for a major area.

Due to federal regulations, the amount of scholarship aid you receive may vary after submission of all financial aid forms.  Please submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to Young Harris College as soon as possible.
