– Jacob, music therapy major
The visual and performing creative arts scholarships at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College are available to high school seniors or transferring college students. Scholarships will be awarded to a select group of campus-based SMWC students enrolled in a degree-seeking program who demonstrate excellence in creative arts.
“I like that I’m able to talk to my professors. There aren’t many students in a class so we could just focus on learning … and being more involved.”
– Monica, graphic design major
