Kendall Portfolio Scholarships

Kendall Portfolio Scholarships are available to incoming undergraduate students. 

Portfolio Scholarships are available to incoming undergraduate students (both freshmen and transfer students) that demonstrate exceptional art and design skills. Consideration for this scholarship is automatic upon the presentation and review of a student's portfolio. Upon the recommendation of a KCAD Admissions Counselor, this scholarship may be awarded. There is no separate application for this scholarship opportunity.

Scholarship awards vary by student and are made at the discretion of the Director of Admissions Services. Awards are disbursed based on full-time enrollment at KCAD (12 or more credit hours per semester) and students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 for renewal consideration and funding availability. We will consider one exception request per student, typically in the student's final semester before graduation.  For example, if you only need 6 credits to graduate, we would grant an exception and pro-rate your scholarship (50% of the full-time value) for that final semester.  Please email [email protected] to request a scholarship exception request form.  

It's best to apply early, since this scholarship will only be awarded if funding is still available.
