Creative Arts Camp
About this camp
This camp represents ETSU’s ongoing commitment to recruit talented students within the arts whose participation enriches not only our campus but the community. We seek to showcase our amazing campus and the ability to be a part of our family and use your talents to access world class facilities and teaching. Founded in 1911, we are a major leading research university with over 14,100 students located in Johnson City, Tennessee. We have observed over the years the amazing talent we see coming out of sub-Saharan Africa specifically Zimbabwe. The culture is rich, the people are warm, the talent is second to none and the standards of achievement unmentionable. This is why together with our Zimbabwean partner PathwayHub Zimbabwe Trust we are not only opening the door for Zimbabwean students to showcase their talent here at ETSU but to experience what it is to study not just in America but in a reputable state of art institution. We have an abundant array of programs one can choose from. What’ more, your talent can open the door for a creative scholarship that is awarded regardless your degree path. So you could be studying nursing and still be very eligible to receive a creative arts scholarships by simply availing your talent.
