3. Students must declare their major in a unit within the College.
4. Students must make satisfactory progress toward the requirements in their major, as defined in each academic unit.
5. Scholarships will be paid out by semester, 50% in the fall and 50% in the spring (based on continued eligibility). No awards will be given for summer.

Application Process

In order to be considered, scholarship applications must include:

• the application form;
• two letters of recommendation; and
• a portfolio of work accomplished (students in Art, Film and New Media, or Theatre Design/Tech)
        OR
  a performance audition (students in Theatre Performance, Dance, or Music).

NOTE: Only one performance audition is required for consideration for both admission and for a Hixson-Lied Undergraduate Scholarship.

(All theatre performance, music, and dance applicants must complete a performance audition to gain admittance. These admission auditions will also fulfill the audition requirement for the Hixson-Lied Undergraduate Scholarship. No additional audition will be required.).
