Programs with Special Requirements

Fine Arts, Music, Theatre, and Dance offer four-year scholarships to incoming students who are interested in studying in one of these areas. To be considered for these scholarships, students must provide supplemental information, such as a portfolio or audition. Auditions and interviews can be scheduled throughout the year by logging into your OWU applicant portal. Read on to find out if these requirements apply to you and get information on how and when to apply.

Students can only apply for these additional scholarship opportunities after they have applied to Ohio Wesleyan.
