Senior Scholarship Exhibition
NOTICE:
All information for this event is being finalized. Please monitor your email for updates!
The Senior Scholarship Exhibition is one of Illinois largest and most influential student scholarship exhibitions. This truly unique exhibition serves both as a celebration of students’ artistic achievement and as a means of providing talented young artists with opportunities to succeed in higher education.
Each year, over 130 high schools from across the state participate in the IHSAE’s Senior Scholarship Exhibition, which is held in Chicago. Over 300 Portfolios are received each year. Each portfolio is reviewed by our collegiate sponsors for scholarship consideration and each scholarship recipient is reviewed by a judge panel for inclusion in the annual exhibition.
