Eligibility

We encourage you to apply for the financial aid that can help make an ArtCenter education a reality for you.

ArtCenter students are admitted on the basis of outstanding visual and academic ability and potential in their field. We are committed to providing opportunities for gifted students. We’re eager to guide students through the process of accessing the resources available to them.

In Fall 2019, 65% of our students qualified for aid, receiving individual grants, loans, scholarships, part-time employment or a combination of aid.

To be eligible to receive federal or state financial aid, you must:

  • Be a U.S. citizen or permanent alien resident.
  • Have a valid Social Security Number.
  • Be enrolled at least half-time in a degree program.
  • Not be in default on any federal funds or owe a refund on a federal grant.
  • Make satisfactory academic progress.
