I'm looking into Full Sail University for a program in digital art, but I'm concerned about the cost. What kind of scholarships does Full Sail provide to help offset tuition? Are there specific scholarships for arts programs?
Full Sail University offers a range of scholarships to help students offset their tuition costs. Here are a few that might pertain to your interest in digital art:
1. The "Creativity Scholarship" program provides up to $3,000 to students enrolled in bachelor's degree programs, including digital arts. Applicants must submit a 3-5 minute video expressing their creative vision and explaining how the Full Sail program they’ve chosen will help them fulfill that vision.
2. The "Career Development Scholarship" provides former Full Sail graduates with funding, up to $13,000, if they wish to return to Full Sail to pursue another degree.
3. The "Full Sail Alumni Scholarship" is for Full Sail graduates who are returning for a new undergraduate degree program. The scholarship can provide up to $2,500 toward tuition.
4. The "Accelerated Program Scholarship" is designed for students who look forward to earning their degrees at an accelerated rate. This scholarship is worth up to $3,000.
However, these scholarships require certain qualifications and come with stipulations, so it's important to check the specific requirements and deadlines. Also, these scholarships cannot be combined, so you need to choose which one would be most beneficial for you.
Besides these scholarships, prospects should also explore external scholarship opportunities related to digital art and design. Organizations and foundations often provide scholarships to students pursuing a degree in these fields.
Keep in mind, however, that Full Sail is a for-profit institution, and the tuition costs can be significantly higher than other universities. It's a good idea to compare the cost and potential scholarships with other schools to ensure you are making the best broad financial decision for your education.
