Scholarships & Awards

The College of Charleston uses an online scholarship awarding system called the Cougar Scholarship Award System (CSAS). Through CSAS you can apply for all privately funded scholarships and all departmental scholarships with one easy application.

Incoming, first-year students can apply for the School of the Arts Merit Award in Arts Management.

This prestigious award is granted on the basis of academic merit to an incoming first-year College of Charleston student who commits to declaring a major in Arts Management. The recipient will show academic and intellectual promise, possess strong leadership qualities, and demonstrate an intent to pursue a career in arts management. Students are eligible for funding if they have been accepted to the College of Charleston and are committed to enrolling in Fall 2025 as an Arts Management major and have demonstrated academic and intellectual promise specifically applicable to the field of Arts Management. The application deadline for the 2025-2026 academic year is January 31, 2025, though early applications are encouraged.

Students in the arts management program may also apply for program-specific scholarships. Current students should visit The Hub for specifics.
