Applications Now Being Accepted For Brule Scholarship At FinnU

Finlandia University is now accepting applications for the Dave and Elsa Brule Scholarship. This competitive scholarship is for students interested in studying art and design in the university’s International School of Art & Design.

The scholarship recipients will be selected based on a portfolio competition. Applicants will need to be present for the Portfolio Review Day on Finlandia’s campus on Saturday, May 7, 2017. That event is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Student-artists working in all media are invited to submit a portfolio of their original work for the competition. The work will be evaluated on composition, concept, range, craftsmanship and originality.

To participate in the scholarship competition, prospective students must apply and be accepted to Finlandia University by April 21, 2017. Students must have a grade point average of 2.5 or better, have an ACT score of 16 or better or SAT score of 880 or better, have applied to and been accepted to Finlandia University, and have completed the 2017-18 FAFSA.

While the work is being juried by Finlandia faculty on May 7, students will tour the Finlandia campus and have lunch. The Finlandia University International School of Art & Design is located in the Jutila Center at 200 Michigan Street in Hancock, Michigan.
