The Bryce and Jonelle Jordan Scholarship Fund
For Students in the Creative and Performing Arts
The Bryce and Jonelle Jordan Scholarship Fund was established in 1981 to support undergraduate music students at the University of Texas at Dallas. Bryce Jordan, flutist and musicologist, was the first President of UT Dallas. It has since been extended, with Dr. Jordan's approval, to provide financial support for undergraduate students in any of the creative and performing arts. The School of Arts and Humanities awards these scholarships in the Art and Performance area, which includes music, theatre, dance, creative writing and the visual arts (including ATEC).
Scholarships are awarded from $500 to $1,000 per long semester to students who are or will be full-time students. Preference is given to students who major within the School of Arts and Humanities but may also be awarded to students who minor in the arts. Scholarships are awarded over the two long semesters (Fall and Spring), half payable in each semester. Scholarship recipients must enroll in at least one course in the Art and Performance area (usually an upper level performing ensemble or studio course, or an upper level creative writing course) during each semester. For more information about courses in the arts, visit the course descriptions page.
Students who are currently receiving an academic scholarship that covers full tuition and fees are not eligible. These scholarships include, but are not limited to, Academic Distinction Scholarships, Academic Honors Scholarships, Academic Excellence Scholarships for National Merit Scholars and the McDermott Scholars Program.
Non-Texas residents who receive an award at the $1,000 level are considered in-state residents for tuition and fee purposes. Renewals are not automatic, but students may reapply for subsequent scholarships for a total scholarship period of up to four years.
New and transfer students must have been accepted by the University of Texas at Dallas prior to applying for a Bryce Jordan Scholarship. Continuing students must be in good academic standing and must enroll full-time during the scholarship period.
