Families of applicants must contact the Admission Office at 215-233-9133 or admiss@msjacad.org to register for the test.

Submit a collection of 10 to 15 art works. 3D works may be included but need to be well marked and wrapped for protection. Students should keep in mind that the submitted art works should represent their skills with as many different media as possible and they should only include their best work. Artworks must be submitted on the day of the Art Scholarship Test. Portfolios may be picked up in the art room a week after the test.

Other Requirements

It is understood that the scholarship recipient will take one art credit per year for four years, apply herself earnestly toward an excellence in art, maintain an A- average in art courses and a B average overall in academic studies.

Art scholars are expected to help with set design and graphic art for the school musical production each year, post the birthday bulletin board and design concert covers. In addition, an art scholar is to be a leader and a role model for her peers in art class.
