Pro Artis Scholarships

Students should upload a portfolio of 5-10 works of art representing at least two different media of any type. These should be uploaded as digital pictures of the works in jpeg, gif, tiff, pmp or png format. The portfolio should also include a list of the submitted artworks including title, dimensions, medium and year in school the work was created.

Students should include with their application a typed “Artist Statement” of at least 300 words. The statement can address some of the following:

• Describe some of the successes and struggles that you have experienced in creating either your artwork in general or a specific project.
• What inspires you as an artist?
• What does creating art mean to you?
• Do you have a favorite medium? If so, what is it about that medium that attracts you?

For those who have been awarded the Pro Artis Scholarship, years one and two may include assisting with the art gallery or other needs of the Augustana Art department. As third- and fourth-year students, the commitment may include serving as studio technicians.
