Tuition & Financial Aid

Think you can't afford a private art school education? Think again. At Santa Fe University of Art and Design we are working hard to make private art school education more affordable for more students. To that end, we have eliminated all course material fees, lowered pricing on four key programs and kept tuition prices the same for our other programs. You will also find a wide variety of financial aid options to help fund your education.

To get a clearer picture of the true costs, it’s important to focus on the net price-your actual out of pocket costs once you factor in scholarships and financial aid. At a time when many colleges and universities are raising tuition and fees, we are proud to be able to help make the cost of an arts school education more affordable with these important changes.

Federal Financial Aid

Many students defray up to 100% of their tuition and fees through low-interest federal direct loan, click here.

*Please note that the interest rates on federal student loans may change by law on or about July 1, 2013

Scholarships

When considering the price of private education, it’s important to look at the whole picture—tuition and fees, room and board are only a part of the equation. Scholarships are also an important factor that can significantly reduce your out of pocket costs. This year, 95% of SFUAD students qualified for scholarships. At Santa Fe University of Art and Design, we consider talent and merit. We also offer awards based on need, residency, and our Early Action Award is available to save up to $2000 per year for all incoming students who apply, are admitted and reserve early. (Please note: to qualify you must follow all the required steps for the early action award ) All of these awards, especially when combined with federal aid packages can help make attending a private arts school a reality. click here .

The U.S. federal government sequestration order requires mandatory cuts to federal financial aid programs. Military Tuition Assistance programs were originally impacted but funding has been restored. While we expect more specific information from the impacted federal agencies, here is what we know:

Federal Direct Loan Programs

  • Loan fees for Federal Direct Loans (Stafford and PLUS) with first disbursements scheduled after March 1, 2013, will increase.
  • Direct Subsidized or Direct Unsubsidized Loan fees will increase from 1.0% of the principal amount of a loan to 1.051%.
  • Direct PLUS Loan fees for parent and graduate student borrowers will increase from 4.0% to 4.204%.
  • The U.S. Department of Education (DOE) has instructed schools to continue disbursing student loans using existing fee rates; borrowers will be notified by the DOE via email (and where necessary, US mail) of the increase in their loan fee . If necessary, the DOE will work with borrowers to collect any difference between the fee that was applied to the disbursement of the Direct Loan and the increased fee required by the sequester.

  • Federal Pell Grant Program is not impacted by sequestration, so students receiving these grant funds will not see any changes
  • While the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and Federal Work-Study are not impacted in the current 2012-2013 award year, students should note that reductions in funding for these programs are targeted for the 2013-2014 award year.
