Entering first-year and transfer students majoring in Art, Dance, Film & Media Arts (B.F.A.), Music, or Theatre, and who have been admitted to SMU and to Meadows via audition or portfolio submission are considered for renewable artistic merit scholarships. Scholarship selection is based on audition performance or quality of portfolio, as well as departmental need for the specific discipline/instrument. A separate application is not required for Meadows Artistic Merit scholarship consideration. Award amounts vary by discipline. Minors (Music, Dance, Art) are not considered for artistic scholarships. |
All Meadows applicants should take the next steps submit financial aid information, or let Meadows know that you don鈥檛 intend to apply for financial aid. We need to know either way for scholarship consideration to be complete. Please check out our step-by-step guide on the process of applying for financial aid. If you are Dual Applicant (applying to both SMU and Art, or Dance, Film (BFA), Music, or Theatre), you should check out our Dual Admit financial package ranges to get an idea of how much Meadows Artistic Scholarship and other free money recent Dual Admits were awarded.
