Is it possible/reasonable to go to CalArts if you don't have a lot of money?

<p>I barely have any money in my college savings. Somewhere around $10,000---I really don't know how my parents expect me to pay for college.
I want to study animation, and unfortunately my best bet at becoming a successful animator is to go to a ridiculously expensive art school (I want to work on children's television programming).</p>

<p>Do you think going to and successfully paying for CalArts is even feasible by any stretch (I don't mind paying off a reasonable amount of student loans for years afterward), and if not where else could/should I go to study 2-D animation?</p>

<p>assuredly calarts isn’t teh only place to go. also, even if calarts doesn’t give need aid (check to see if they do) they may give scholarships you may qualify for</p>

<p>If your stats are within range and you are comfortable in a university rather than an art school setting with all the gen ed requirements that go with a uni, the USC film school has an animation major. USC offers both merit-based scholarships and need-based FA. You might want to post on the USC board and see if there are some animation students there.</p>

<p>Look into SCAD. They are very generous with need-based scholarships. </p>
