This year’s four Zankel finalists included MICA’s Becca Stadtlander, chosen from hundred of entries from art colleges across the US. This is the 3rd year for the Zankel and the 2nd year MICA has placed in the finalist group.

The finalists are treated to a day in NYC prior to their interview for the award. This $20,000 scholarship is given to a rising senior who has been first nominated by their department, submitted a portfolio of images, written an essay and then selected for entries from throughout the US. Congratulations to Becca for all her hard work on the Zankel.
