I'm really interested in attending a fashion school in the USA, but I'm worried about the costs. Are there any fashion schools that provide scholarships for international students? Any suggestions would be super helpful!
Sure, there are a number of fashion schools in the U.S. that offer scholarships to international students!
1. Parsons School of Design, which is part of The New School in New York, offers several scholarships. There's the Dean's BFA Scholarship for newly admitted students, the Parsons Scholars Program for high school juniors from New York City public schools, and others.
2. The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) also offers need-based scholarships to international students, and the scholarships can cover part of or all of the tuition, depending on the financial need.
3. The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York provides some merit-based scholarships for international students, with the amount varying based on the student's academic and creative abilities.
4. The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) offers achievement scholarships to international students based on their SAT or ACT scores, class ranking, and GPA.
5. The Academy of Art University in San Francisco provides a limited number of partial scholarships to international students each year. They're awarded based on a combination of the student's creative ability, academic qualifications, and personal achievements.
It's crucial to remember that scholarships can be highly competitive and this is often affected by the pool of candidates applying each year. Therefore, it's a good rule of thumb to apply to several schools and scholarships to widen your opportunities. In addition, don't forget to explore external scholarships as well, since these can help supplement any financial aid packages you get from the schools themselves. Lastly, be sure to double-check the application requirements and deadlines for each scholarship - you don't want to miss out on any opportunities! Good luck!
