The scholarship review committee is looking for your creative fearlessness and a singular proficiency in creating work that communicates your ideas competently.
The Personal Statement is your opportunity to exhibit your individuality through the lens of your unique experiences and background.

We want to learn about how your personal journey, experiences, hardships, values, and choices have made you the storyteller you are today. Your Personal Statement must be at least 500 words but no longer than 2 pages.

Hiding from it, ignoring it, or being silent about it will not make it go away.
