Arts Merit Weekend
Feb. 14–15, 2025
The Arts Merit weekend is designed to help you meet and interact with professors and students in your discipline and complete your audition or interview if you have not already done so.
In order to be awarded an Arts Merit Scholarship, you must audition or interview with our faculty, which can be done during the selection weekend. If you need to make alternate arrangements, please contact your respective faculty liaison (see list below) immediately.
You can find maps and directions to Bucknell and the Lewisburg area here.
