For the third year in a row, The New School is providing students across the globe with a unique opportunity to use their skills and knowledge to win a scholarship for five of their undergraduate divisions.
Until 1 February 2015, international applicants interested in beginning undergraduate studies in fall 2015 are able to enter The New School’s scholarship competition and apply to their chosen participating division at the university. The five options are: Parsons The New School for Design (either NYC or Paris campus), Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts, The New School for Drama, The New School for Jazz & Contemporary Music, and Mannes College The New School for Music. Ten scholarships will be awarded in total (one full- and one partial-tuition scholarship for each of the five schools).
How to enter this scholarship competition
To be in with a chance of winning a scholarship, applicants must answer a series of multiple-choice question sets. During the process, they’ll learn more about the nearly 100-year old institution and its focus on collaboration and project-based learning, which has attracted such notable figures as Woody Allen, Jack Kerouac and Eleanor Roosevelt.
The scholarship competition challenges students to test their skills and suitability for the university and their chosen undergraduate division. The questions will also test their knowledge of global events and issues, as The New School aims to produce global citizens who are able to understand, contribute to, and succeed in a rapidly changing society, and thus make the world a better and more just place.
In addition to completing the multiple-choice quizzes, applicants will submit a video where they will have the opportunity to showcase their creativity as they answer the question: “Why Are You New School?” You can see last year’s winning videos here.
