How to Apply
The Museum School’s Pre-College Summer Studio is a competitive pre-college program for juniors and seniors in high school (or students 16 to 18 years of age). We
strongly encourage early application because of the program’s limited space. Students
requesting housing and/or scholarship are encouraged to submit applications before April 2, 2008. Preference is given to applications received prior to this
date.
Please note: the deadline for those requesting housing has been extended. The deadline for those requesting scholarship has passed.All applicants must submit the following: - Application form (at right)
and nonrefundable $50 application fee.
- One letter of
recommendation from an art teacher or guidance counselor. Letters of recommendation should be sent directly to
the Continuing Education Office. Applicants from outside the United States need to have a letter of recommendation in English.
- A typewritten
essay (2–3 pages) on one of the following topics:
1) Why do you want to attend SMFA's Pre-College Summer Studio program? Tell us what inspires you to make art.
OR
2) Describe one of your art works. Why did you create it; what does it mean to you?
- A minimum of eight images
of your artwork, such as slides, photographs, or digital images. Acceptable digital formats include DVDs, CD-ROMs, and VHS (NTSC format only). Please label all materials with your name and title of work. Images should represent work done within the last year. Please do not send original works. Images
will not be returned unless a self-addressed, stamped envelope is
included.
International applicants must also submit additional information. Click here to learn more if you are an international applicant. Applicants will be admitted on the basis of their recommendation,
