Texas Art Scholarships

A degree in the fine arts can be helpful in launching a career as a professional artist, but it can also be expensive. As the costs of higher education continue to increase, more and more students are turning to scholarship funding to help offset some of the financial burden. For emerging artists in Texas, scholarship funding is available from a number of different sources.
  1. Texas State University Art Scholarships

    • Students enrolled in art and design programs at Texas State University may take advantage of seven different scholarship programs.
