The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is committed to helping talented and motivated students pay for school. Each year, 75 to 80 percent of all SMFA students receive financial aid. Total aid awarded for the 2007–2008 year was $12,182,740, of which $5,160,206 was awarded directly from the School.

The School offers both need-based and merit-based aid. Merit scholarships are awarded on the strength of a student’s portfolio and potential for growth as an artist in the Museum School community. All students are reviewed for merit scholarship if they meet the admissions deadline. Merit scholarships range from $3,000 to full tuition and are renewed annually while a student is enrolled at the Museum School.

At the Museum School, we welcome questions—and also opportunities to see your art.

Applying to the School requires a number of materials and steps. First of all, we’d love to meet you and see your work. To arrange a visit, including a meeting with one of our admissions counselors, call 800-643-6078. Another option: visit us at Portfolio Days. You’ll also need to submit a portfolio of your work as part of your application.

Please note that if you’re applying to the five-year Combined-Degree Program or the Master of Art in Teaching in Art Education, you must apply to the Museum School and Tufts University simultaneously.

You can also rely upon the expertise of your Art Institutes Financial Aid Officer. Together, you’ll put together a plan that allows you to achieve your educational goals. Remember that we’re here to help you, every step of the way.

Our admissions process isn’t just about forms and numbers and what you did in high school. It’s about you as an individual. Yes, we look at your academic background and work. High school and college transcripts will be evaluated. But we also take the time to sit down and find out what’s important to you.

Start College in Any Season
Students may begin their program of study at the beginning of any academic quarter – July, October, January or April. Mid-quarter starts also begin in August, November, February and May. Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible prior to their intended start date.

An Easy Process
We try to make the admissions process simple. To enroll, you will be interviewed by an Assistant Director of Admissions, either in person or by phone. If everything looks good, then you will fill out an Application for Admission and an Enrollment Agreement and send it to The Art Institute of Charlotte with a $150 fee.

It’s the kind of conversation that can only take place in a school as intimate as AAC. Our classes are small and our faculty is engaged. We create a community of artists who practice together and learn from one another. AAC’s unique curriculum will invite you—and challenge you—to take risks and broaden your vision.

You won’t just make art; you’ll make discoveries. And you’ll make the connections—with other artists, gallery owners, potential employers—that can jump-start your career.

Don’t let cost prevent you from obtaining the college education of your dreams. Scholarships, grants, loans and other forms of financial assistance can make a Lynn education more affordable than you ever imagined.

In fact, for more than 62 percent of our students receive some form of financial aid.

This section describes the types of financial assistance available at Lynn. A combination of these awards may be used to meet your needs.
Scholarships and Grants

Scholarships and grants are awards that do not have to be repaid. A scholarship is based upon a specific criterion such as academics, while a grant is based upon a student’s financial need.

Loans

Loans are a form of financial aid that must be repaid, with interest. For many students, loans will make up at least a portion of their financial aid packages, although we advise you to explore all sources of scholarships and grants prior to making use of loans.

Student Employment

These awards are based on need, as determined by the FAFSA. While they may appear in your award letter as an award, the award amount represents the maximum amount you may earn through working. This amount will be paid directly to you and will not be applied to your student account.

Core curriculum courses
Many courses offered by the DFPA count towards core curriculum credit in the knowledge areas of Artistic Knowledge and Experience and Historical Knowledge and values areas of Promoting Civic Engagement or Leadership. Click here for a complete list of core curriculum courses.

Course rotations
It’s important to note that while many courses are offered every semester, more advanced classes are offered less frequently, often once a year, or even every two years. Rotations are subject to change. See your advisor or the director for more information.

Enrollment problems
If you are a major or minor and are trying to register in a class that is full, contact the director as soon as possible to be put on a waiting list. Keep checking LOCUS to watch for drops. Entry to closed classes cannot be guaranteed.

Prerequisites
Make sure to check for prerequisites while enrolling. If you have not taken appropriate prerequisites, then do not enroll in the course. The department will remove you from it later, but meanwhile you’ll prevent others from enrolling. See your advisor if your schedule makes it necessary to take courses out of sequence.
