Suzy Weinert Scholarship Endowment

The Suzy Weinert Scholarship is for Colorado resident students concentrating in Visual Art (within the Department of Visual and Performing Arts) entering their junior or senior year. Awards are granted primarily based on artistic merit and preference will be given to applicants with financial need. Women especially are encouraged to apply; however, an applicant’s gender will not be considered a factor in the recipient selection process. Scholarship awards range from $500-$1,000. Although not renewable, previous recipients are encouraged to reapply for the award. Although financial need is not required, students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 1st to apply.

Applicants will be notified of scholarship results in May.
