Can anyone speak to any scholarships/aid they have received for any of the BA BFA programs whether merit or artistic? Or can anyone give some info on what they have heard in the past? I’m trying to look at the big picture here with all of the “what if” admissions and would love to be able to narrow things down with my D especially with financial aid in mind.
Last year almost all the aid my D18 received was based on academic rather than artistic merit (though I think she received more than she might have done than as say a CS or Engineering applicant with the same stats). The only dance specific scholarship was $2000 per year extra at Oklahoma (in addition to $9000 per year of academic merit). She received academic merit at UCSB (Regents), UCI (Regents), UT Austin ($1000 p.a. + OOS tuition waiver), Fordham/Ailey ($37000 p.a.) and Utah.
Thank you @Twoin18 my D is waiting on Fordham, NYU, point park, and Pace (received academic merit for Pace). She has schools she applied for academically as security and has received aid for those. Hopefully if she does get in somewhere for dance, she gets a bit!
My D received merit aid from nearly all of the schools she applied to but only artistic scholarship offers from two, if I recall, and those were much smaller amounts. She didn’t apply to any of the schools you listed though so I can’t common those. NYU in general is not known for offering a lot of financial aid.
Mine has received either Merit, Artistic or a combo from all her schools. PP offered a combination and it was approximately 13,000 a year.
