Programs: In fy17 $55,000 was awarded to four housing scholarship recipients. The intent of the alumni society housing scholarship is to provide on-campus housing for a student who would otherwise commute from home. The housing scholarship covers the cost of on-campus housing for the duration at sva (not to exceed four years). Eligible students must fulfill the following criteria: home address is within 100 mile radius from zip code 10010; minimum high school or transfer gpa of 3. 0; demonstrated financial need. In fy17 $83,400 was awarded in support of 81 thesis projects. The alumni scholarship fund and several named fund awards support the direct costs of completing final thesis/senior portfolio projects. All matriculated students in good academic standing with a minimum cumulative gpa of 3. 0 planning to graduate in spring 2017 were eligible. Award amounts range between $500 and $5000 and are based upon artistic merit as determined by a review panel and financial need as demonstrated by project budget. In fy17 $23,200 in additional named scholarship and direct scholarship funds were awarded to 11 students recognizing individual accomplishment and merit. In fy17 the lila eva lewental memorial award was distributed to one student in the total amount of $10,000. The rodman family scholarship award was distributed to one student in the total amount of $2,500. Awards from these two funds are need-based and are distributed annually to a student to directly pay for student loan debt.
