Merit scholarship without need

I have a junior beginning search for colleges to apply to by fall. Still open to university with great art dept or art school-illustration major/emphasis. Wondering about schools that are known for giving merit aid without financial need demonstrated. Not really ready for NYC or LA yet.

Check out Univ. Arizona

What’s your budget? Will you be eligible for FA? Even with merit these schools can be expensive. Run the NPC’s for some of these schools.

We went through the film school process this year with S21. There’s probably some overlap with schools you’re looking at. He didn’t want the west coast so limited to east of the Mississippi. Schools like NYU were off the list too. Too expensive and no FA.

The usual suspects would be SCAD or RISD.
