Applicants must submit a personal, typed statement, roughly one page in length, describing their reasons for applying to NYSID and their educational and professional goals.

The transcript that will be required as part of your application is based on the highest level of degree you have completed: Current High School Student or High School Graduate

All applicants must submit two letters of recommendation. Letters typically come from, but are not limited to, teachers, employers, design professionals or counselors.

Recommendation letters must be submitted directly by the recommender.

The portfolio should be fine-art based using a variety of media and may consist of still life compositions, sculptures, landscapes, portraits, figure studies, and/or renderings of interior spaces.
