Case Western Reserve Arts Achievement Scholarships

About the Scholarship

Case Western Reserve University offers a small number of $10,000 Arts Achievement Scholarships to students who are strong in dance, music, studio art or theatre and who plan to major in something else. It rewards the serious musician heading for engineering, or the painter heading for biology.

Music applicants submit a video audition as part of the Arts Supplement through the applicant portal. Dance, studio art and theatre applicants contact the relevant department to set up an audition or a portfolio review.

International students can participate in Case Western's scholarship competitions unless a competition notes otherwise, and this one carries no such note.

You also need a complete admission application and a separate scholarship application with an essay by 15 February, with winners notified by 1 April. At $10,000 this reduces the bill rather than clearing it.

Eligibility

Students who exhibit excellence in dance, music, studio art or theatre but who may not major in those subject areas. First-year applicants interested in music submit a video audition through the Arts Supplement in the applicant portal. Those interested in dance, studio art or theatre contact the individual departments to arrange an audition or portfolio review. Only a small number of awards are available. Case Western states that international students can participate in its scholarship competitions unless a particular competition notes otherwise, and no such note applies here. Students who are otherwise eligible for full-tuition benefits at Case Western are not eligible for these awards.
