MERIT SCHOLARSHIPS
All admitted students are considered for Merit Scholarships based on their admissions portfolio or audition. These scholarships are limited and very competitive, going only to the top 30% of the incoming class. Faculty identify merit recipients through a holistic approach.
EQUITY GRANTS
These awards are intended to reduce the size of the gap between each student’s available resources and the total cost of attendance.
ACCESS GRANTS
CalArts awards Access Grants to ensure a diversity of voices throughout incoming classes. All domestic and international students are considered for Access Grants, which vary in amounts and eligibility, and are awarded at the discretion of each school.
ENDOWED AND ANNUALLY FUNDED SCHOLARSHIPS
Thanks to the enormous generosity of individuals, organizations, and foundations, CalArts is able to currently offer over 150 endowed and annually funded scholarships to students. Selection of the recipients of these scholarships is based upon the requirements of the donor.
