Scholarships

The College of Communication and Fine Arts (CCFA) scholarships open meaningful pathways for students across all of our academic units—Architecture, Art and Design, Communication and Film, Journalism and Strategic Media, Theatre and Dance, and the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music.


The impact goes far beyond financial support. These awards affirm the value of each student’s creative voice and potential, offering encouragement at pivotal moments in their journey. This support empowers them to take risks, stay focused on their goals, and pursue opportunities they may not have imagined possible. In doing so, our scholarships build confidence, spark ambition, and foster a deep sense of belonging within a vibrant, interdisciplinary community. These opportunities are not only life-changing; they’re an investment in the future of our students.
