Accepted applicants whose financial aid applications are complete as of March 2 will have priority for all federal and institutional funds. Aid is awarded in a package usually comprising funds from several different programs and includes recommended loans. These awards are for one academic year and are subject to reapplication each year. Renewal of Institute funds is always based upon satisfactory academic progress, faculty recommendation, need, and the availability of funds. Federal funding is renewed based upon satisfactory academic progress, computed need and the availability of funds.
Financial aid is available.
Financial aid programs, the funding procedures, and the application process may change at the state, federal, and institutional levels. The CalArts Financial Aid and Scholarship Brochure contains the latest information available.
