Art Scholarships
Interested in attending Highland Community College as an art student? We have art and graphic design scholarships available.
Registration Form
In years past, teachers filled out an online form that allocated students to various activities - we no longer use that form or register students individually. Feedback indicated that it took a lot of time and really wasn't particualry useful because teams often change the day of.
Individual instructors will need to be aware of the activities that are limited:
- Art History is limited to one team of 4 students.
- Team clay is limited to one team of 4 students.
