Lost Colombian looking for art schools!

<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>Well I don't know much about art institutions. But, there is a film program in the University of New Orleans, which is supposed to be top 20 in film (at least that is what the UNO brochure says :p). You could be there your first two years there and then transfer perhaps ?</p>

<p>Apart from that it has great scholarships, the best being the Chancellor Scholarship which is a 3.5 and 1210 SAT requirement and covers everything - a full ride, even books.</p>
