I am applying to animation schools to transfer to and currently Ringling College is my first choice. Only down side to it is on the expensive side. I know there are some schools that guarantee to meet financial need or be more flexible with tuition to insure you stay enrolled at their school, and I am trying to find out if Ringling is one of them. ParentPlus loans are out of the question for me, as are private loans (and I have applied for scholarships, unknown if I will received them yet). If anyone has any experience with their financial aid department or has any advice I would appreciate it (looks like I’ll be short $12,000).
