SCAD cost of attendance?

Hey guys! I've been considering applying to SCAD, but I'm a bit worried about the cost. Does anyone have experience with SCAD's tuition and other expenses? Are they really as expensive as I've heard? Are there any scholarships or financial aid opportunities available?

SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) can indeed be quite expensive, but there are financial aid and scholarship opportunities available that can help alleviate the financial burden.

For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated cost of attendance for an undergraduate student attending SCAD is as follows:

- Tuition (full-time): $41,130

- Room & Board: $18,123 (estimated, depends on the type of room and meal plan)

- Books and supplies: approximately $2,061

- Personal/miscellaneous expenses: approximately $2,364

- Transportation: $1,830

The total annual cost is estimated at $65,508 but keep in mind that these are just the estimated costs and your personal expenses may vary.

As for financial aid opportunities, SCAD offers a variety of scholarships based on factors like academic achievement, artistic talent, and leadership. Some of these scholarships include:

- SCAD academic scholarship

- SCAD achievement scholarship

- International Baccalaureate Scholarship

- Coca-Cola Bottling United Endowed Scholarship

In addition to SCAD-specific scholarships, you should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year to determine your eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid, including grants, work-study programs, and loans.

Lastly, you might want to explore external scholarships through online scholarship search engines or local organizations. Remember to apply for multiple scholarships to maximize your chances of receiving financial assistance.

While SCAD's costs can be high, pursuing scholarships and financial aid can help offset expenses and make attending the college more affordable. Good luck with your applications!
