Each fall, newly entering Notre Dame de Namur University undergraduates (freshmen and transfers) with exceptional talent in writing may be awarded an NDNU Emerging Artist Scholarship, valued up to $9,500 per year.

These scholarships are renewable each year as long as the recipient maintains NDNU academic eligibility, stays in the academic field of the scholarship and continues to develop his/her talent within the awarding department.

A successful candidate must have submitted the regular NDNU admission application documents by February 1 and completed all portfolio requirements.
