Throughout the school year, any information that we receive regarding outside scholarship opportunities is also posted through the Career Services Office's website. In order to log into Career Service's website and search for opportunities, students must first register for an account.
All Students: You must have a current student ID to register for an account with Career Services. If you have not registered with their site before, you can register for an account here. Your student ID is a required field in the registration. If you have a problem registering, please contact the Career Services Office at careerservices@massart.edu and include your MassArt student ID number and full name. They will send you an email with login instructions.
Scholarship Searches
In addition to browsing our outside scholarships listings, students are strongly encouraged to conduct their own scholarship searches on the web in order to find scholarships related to their specific interests and needs. The following is a list of scholarship search engines and resources:
- Art Deadlines List. A listing of numerous scholarships, grants, contests, fellowships, jobs, and internships in the arts.
- FastWeb. The largest, most popular free scholarship search site, it is a general scholarship website for high school or college students and compares your background with a database of awards.
- CollegeBoard. A great resource for students with information about paying for college and a scholarship search engine.
- GiveMeScholarships.com. Helpful advice about writing your scholarship essay and common blunders.
- CollegeNET. A scholarship database of over 600,000 awards.
How outside awards may affect your financial aid
Please note, it is the student's responsibility to notify the Office of Student Financial Assistance in writing of all outside awards received from other sources. Types of assistance that must be reported include private scholarships, tuition waivers, veteran's benefits, Massachusetts Rehabilitation assistance, etc.
In some cases financial aid may have to be adjusted because of outside scholarships or assistance. If this is the case, MassArt will do everything possible within the realm of federal regulations to protect a student's grant awards, however, outside awards may reduce the student's eligibility to borrow federal funds or receive work study. Please note that it is the student's responsibility to make certain that MassArt receives these outside scholarship funds.
