2023 President's Traveling Scholarships

A long-standing tradition, Cleveland Institute of Art offers scholarships to graduating seniors to further their creative practice through travel.

Students propose projects through an application process each spring. Those proposals are reviewed, and 20 finalists are chosen. A committee of faculty review the 20 students' BFA exhibitions, and six recipients are selected.

Works in the slideshow (above) are from the Top 20 candidates.
