Scholarships for Art History Majors

Students of art history have an eye for beauty and a mind that can track the development of art over time. Like lots of other students, they also have to worry about the cost of education. There are scholarships, however, that can offset tuition costs for art history majors. Some are for specific colleges and universities that offer the subject, and others are awarded by national organizations that sponsor the arts. While some scholarships are specific to the study of art history, others cover all students majoring in the arts. These scholarships can be competitive, and qualifying students will have to show good academic standing and a passion for the subject. They may also have to prove financial need. Check out the art history scholarships below to find the perfect one for you.
