<p>I am a highschool senior hoping to be able to afford art school.
I have sent off my portfolio to SCAD and I am losing SO MUCH SLEEP worrying about how much scholarship money I may or may not be awarded.
The thing is, I have no idea what to expect, and I don't want to be extremely dissapointed when the number is not what it is in my daydreams.
Anyone have an idea of the average amount awarded for portfolio-based scholarships alone???
It is a traditional medium portfolio and I included 3 pieces from observation, so hopefully that'll score me some points.<br>
I plan to major in Illustration, so I included a book (the covers and just a few pages from the book) I illustrated ... maybe that'll be good?
If you have time and enough knowledge of the school to know, you are welcome to look at my portfolio at this link...

I, of course, did not use all of the images here. I chose 19. (10-20 required for SCAD) But it can at least give you a general idea of my skill level.
Be great if someone could give a guess to prepare me for the news and calm my nerves....
~sigh.
Thank you so much guys!</p>
<p>I know a kid who got a 25,000 dollar a year scholarship...but he was VERY talented (but looking at your portfolio...so are you), but from what I hear you do get some good grants. I'm sure you'll recieve anywhere from 10,000+ a year with that portfolio. Also, if you're academics are up to par you may also be eligable for an academic scholarship. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you so much for this comment. But I already recieved news that I will be recieving no scholarships for my artistic ability.</p>
<p>I'm really, very, extremely, dumb founded. You didn't get ANYTHING? Wow...it must have gotten a lot more competitive or something because judging on your work, you are very talented.</p>
<p>Do you know if you'll be recieving anything for academics? Maybe I'm totally off, but I was talking to admissions rep for SCAD and I thought they had mentioned they award merit for artisitic ability and academics seperately and then add the sums. I was at a summer art school, but I'm not a visual artist so I was just having a casual conversation with her.</p>
