Ringling Scholarships Opportunities?

Hey there everyone. So, I'm feeling kinda anxious about college costs and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about scholarships at Ringling? Any info on available scholarships, how competitive they are, or any tips on how to earn them? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there! I understand that college costs can cause some amount of worry. Ringling College of Art and Design does indeed offer several scholarship opportunities to students.

Firstly, merit-based scholarships are automatically considered for all accepted students. Decisions on these scholarships are based on an evaluation of the student's academic record and portfolio. No separate application is required, they're based on your application to Ringling, which includes your GPA, portfolio, and potentially your test scores if you choose to submit them.

The Kevin and Iryna King Endowed Scholarship is another major scholarship you could explore. This is awarded annually to an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Animation who meets certain criteria.

As for competitive scholarships, there's the Trustee Scholarships which is one of the highest merit-based scholarships awarded by the college. For these, you'll want to ensure you have a strong portfolio that showcases your creative strengths and a solid GPA.

Keep in mind, that great portfolios are often those that show not only quality work but also reflect the student's unique style and perspective. Work hard on your art and bring your creativity to the forefront; this will give you a competitive edge.

Finally, my tip for earning scholarships effectively would be to apply as early as possible, meet all deadlines, and thoroughly review the necessary requirements and eligibility criteria. Good luck, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions!
