UCA has partnered with the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts to establish a scholarship to support at least TWO students to attend workshops at Arrowmont in Gatlinburg, Tennessee for summer 2023.

The scholarship has an approximate value of $1300 and includes the one-week course fee, application fee, meals & housing in dormitory style facilities (student may upgrade their housing for an additional charge), and a $300 stipend that may be used for travel and materials fee. If a two-week class is selected, the recipient is responsible for the additional course fee and meals/housing costs.

Upon receipt of the completed applications, they will process the registrations and send the appropriate information to the student prior to their class.

The Arrowmont process requires that you list your top three workshop choices in order of preference. This is also required on your departmental scholarship application form along with a description of the impact of these three choices in the Justification of Worth section of this application.
