Communication, Graphic Design, and Public Relations Scholarship Form

Carthage offers a number of competitive scholarships to prospective communication, graphic design, and public relations majors. These scholarships are awarded based upon a cumulative review of a candidate’s application for admission to Carthage, in addition to a review of the applicant’s portfolio by members of the faculty of the Communication and Digital Media Department.

Scholarship reviews for 2025 will take place in person on February 15. There is also a virtual option.

Applying for scholarships does not commit you to attending Carthage.

A confirmation email will be sent from vpascholarships@carthage.edu.
