Students who are pursuing majors in the School of Art & Creative Media may qualify for a College of Fine Arts (CFA) Scholarship totaling up to $5,000 annually. These awards are based on talent and/or academic achievement and are awarded at the time of your interview or portfolio review. The deadline for applications is rolling but priority processing is by May 1. CFA scholarships renew each year a student remains enrolled in the College of Fine Arts.
* Currently there is not a portfolio required for admission into your chosen field study within the School of Art & Creative Media. Once admitted to Millikin University, you are also admitted to the major. You must first be admitted to Millikin before you can apply for a talent scholarship.
Millikin is an independent, four year university that is privately funded and has an enrollment of approximately 1,800 students in traditional and non-traditional undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Located in Decatur, Illinois, you will quickly discover that the signature of a Millikin education is a unique experience we like to call Performance Learning.
Since its founding more than 110 years ago, Millikin has operated under the philosophy of providing an education that combines theory with practice. While this was a radical idea at the time, we know today that practice is not enough.
Today's students must perform their knowledge in order to be truly prepared for a successful career after college. Through immersive experiences such as internships, co-teaching, running a business, presenting research to experts and performing in front of audiences – students find new ways to live out their learning and reap the rewards of their hard work.
Millikin graduates enter the job market armed with experience and ready for success. In 2021, 99% of graduates gained employment or entry to graduate or professional schools within six months of graduation.
