Thinking about applying to SCAD Atlanta for art but I'm not too sure about the cost. How expensive is it, generally? And do they provide decent financial aid options?
SCAD Atlanta, or Savannah College of Art and Design Atlanta, is indeed known for its robust art programs. However, it's important to factor in the cost when considering colleges.
As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated total cost of attending SCAD Atlanta - including tuition, fees, room, and board - is about $55,900 per year. This might vary slightly based on personal spending habits and specific program/course requirements.
However, don't let the sticker price deter you. Most students do not end up paying the full listed price thanks to various forms of financial assistance. The college offers a number of scholarships, grants, and work-study programs to help offset the cost of attendance.
These scholarships can be merit-based, need-based, or a combination of both. To maximize your aid, be sure to complete your FAFSA form. This form is used to determine your eligibility for state and federal aid, and some schools also use it to award their own funds. SCAD’s school code is 015022 for the FAFSA.
Also, you might want to check out the SCAD Scholarship Database which allows you to look for scholarships you might be eligible for. They also offer the SCAD Challenge competition which awards scholarships to prospective students.
Remember, the first step in getting financial aid is applying for it, so submit all forms by the deadlines and actively seek out opportunities. Good luck!
