Financial Aid for U.S. Citizen and Permanent Resident Students—Undergraduate Programs

Students applying for financial aid and scholarship should submit the FAFSA at fafsa.gov and list ArtCenter’s school code of 001116. The FAFSA opens October 1st of each year and you should submit the FAFSA by the application priority dates listed below.

The Cal Grant, which is for students who attended high school in California, has a FAFSA and grade-point verification deadline of March 2. Forms may be obtained at csac.ca.gov and should be certified by the registrar at your current school.

Once you have submitted your FAFSA, the Financial Aid Office will be able to consider your eligibility for programs such as the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Work Study, Federal Stafford Loans and ArtCenter scholarships. The Financial Aid office will notify you of your aid after your acceptance into ArtCenter.

Continuing students must submit their FAFSA each year in order to maintain their eligibility for all types of financial aid.
