What happens next?
Financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. If financial aid is awarded, you will be notified in approximately two weeks with a class confirmation email, so please make sure the email address you provide is accurate. In the event that an award is not given, your payment will not be processed and you will not be placed in a class.
How many awards are given?
For the current semester, there is funding to support 30% of students attending Saturday Art School to receive financial aid awards. We encourage all eligible students and families to apply.
How long does the award last?
Financial aid awards given in the fall semester are renewable for the spring semester based on attendance. Awards given in the spring are valid for one semester only. Families must re-apply each fall, as all awards are dependent on available funding.
