Lost Colombian looking for art schools

College Search & Selection
1

<p>hello people.. i'm a colombian guy looking for art education at the u.s.
i'm looking for an art school/institute that offers me a complete education. i'm very interested in film, but i don't want to leave aside the artistic part (by that i mean painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, etc...). It can also be a university that has an arts college or whatever; it doesn't have to be a solely arts institute. </p>

<p>Then comes the money issue. I don't have $40.000 a year to pay for my education. I need scholarships -or cheaper colleges- since i can not apply for FAFSA.</p>

<p>right now i'm applying to SCAD because i heard they grant several scholarships and it's pretty good. Plus, it offers a 2-year basic education and afterwards you choose whatever you want; but i want some more colleges that are also generous and also the alternative of not-so-expensive colleges that offer more or less the same kind of education.</p>

<p>I've been doing some research. I have an enormous list of colleges including MICA, CCAD, RISD, Graphic Art School, MICA, Art Center, Academy of Art University at San Francisco, University of the Arts, The Art Institutes, Massart, CIA and about 30 more... i mean i think i know about every art school at the united states. but i just don't know what to do. i'm very confused. besides, i'm also a little late for applying for fall 2008!</p>

<p>Please help!</p>

<p>My friend goes to MICA. She absolutely loves it. It's the best thing that's ever happened to her.</p>

<p>I would post this on the Arts Majors board as well. You should be able to get a lot of helpful responses. I think you're okay for Fall 2008 as art schools admit on rolling admission basis. Scholarships could be rough though, both from a timing point of view (earlier applies get more money) and an international perspective - not sure what the criteria is here, and may vary by school - I know there are intls who post on the arts majors boards who should be able to help you out here.</p>
