1 The Art Grant can be renewed each year the student is enrolled full-time at Columbia College as an art major. The student is required to be an exemplary student, producing high-quality artwork and making satisfactory progress in all classes. If the student does not demonstrate continued excellence in their studies, the Art Grant can be reconsidered at any time. Any student entering the exhibition is encouraged to submit a portfolio to the Columbia College Department of Visual Arts & Music for grant consideration.
