What's the tuition for SCAD?

Hi everyone, I've seen plenty of good things about Lehigh University, but I want to know about any potential downsides. Are any students or alumni willing to share?

As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition for Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) is approximately $41,100 per year. Keep in mind, that this is just the cost of tuition and does not include room and board, textbooks, or personal expenses. Room and board can vary substantially depending on the type of housing and meal plan you select, but you can expect it to cost approximately $18,100 per year. Textbooks and supplies for art programs can be quite costly as well, perhaps adding an additional $2,000 to $3,000 per year.

You should also budget for personal expenses, which would include things like laundry, eating out, entertainment, and travel. These costs can also vary greatly depending on your personal habits, but a good estimate might be around $2,000 to $5,000 per year.

Of course, it's important to remember that these are estimated costs. The actual costs can vary by student and by year. Additionally, keep in mind that financial aid and scholarships can help offset these costs. SCAD does offer a range of scholarships and financial aid, and I would encourage you to explore those options to potentially reduce the cost of attendance.

For the most accurate estimate, I would recommend using SCAD's Net Price Calculator, which takes into consideration your family's financial situation to provide an estimated cost of attendance (https://www.scad.edu/admission/financial-aid-and-scholarships/financial-aid/net-price-calculator). That way, you can get a sense of what you might actually pay after factoring in financial aid and scholarships.
