[THIS PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW]
NSCAD University awards an annual $25,000 scholarship for Fall or Winter residency to one third- or fourth-year student (60+credits). The New York Studio Residency Program, located in Brooklyn, is four months long beginning in either September or January.
The program counts as 15 credits towards a NSCAD degree; all students enroll in Contemporary Art Seminar for 3 credits plus a choice of two 12 credit options:
1. Independent Studio (12 credits)
If you are ready to work independently and make art with self-discipline and commitment, Independent Studio provides 15 hours a day, seven days a week access to your individual work space in a building full of arts organizations and artists in the vibrant DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn. Students may work in the following disciplines:
Painting, Sculpture, Photography, New & Mixed Media, Digital Arts & Video, Fiber Arts, and Related Visual Arts
2. Internship Option (12 credits)
Work directly in the studios or firms of professional artists and designers. You may be placed with a graphic artist, fashion designer, illustrator, photographer, textile and fabric designer, interior designer, furniture designer, jewelry designer, or ceramicist — or in a workshop, gallery, or museum.
Design, Graphic Arts, Illustration, Photography, Printmaking, Media Arts, Fashion Design, Digital Design, Video Arts, Art Galleries, Museums, Artists' Studios

Because internship employers do not guarantee placements, the studios and companies on the list above may not have positions during the semester you choose to come to the NYSP. It is a good idea for you to work with your school or department to research internship positions and policies before you apply.
Special Internship Position at the 20 X 24 Studio.
Available to possibly 2 photography internship applicants from participating schools to the NYSP. Go to www.20x24studio.com to see the studio and arrange your internship with Director and NYSP alumna Jennifer Trausch.
NSCAD will award the successful applicant $25,000. The balance of the award will be forwarded to the student after the NYSRP tuition and NSCAD tuition have been deducted. The balance is sufficient to cover accommodations in NYC and the cost of materials/studio fees for the program, but it is up to the student to budget accordingly as no additional funding will be provided.

A portfolio of recent work must accompany each application and consist of no more than 20 pieces. Work should be digital images or time-based and be accompanied by a corresponding typed list of works.
