Financial Aid

YOUR MOST IMPORTANT INVESTMENT IS YOU

For some students, finances can pose a hurdle in the road toward an education. Learn how we may be able to help you overcome it.

Terms & Conditions for All Scholarships

Scholarship winners must complete: the 18-month program within 21 months, the 21-month program in 24 months, or the 36-month program within 39 months. Scholarship recipients must maintain satisfactory academic progress. Scholarships will be suspended in quarters when the student's cumulative grade point average falls below 2.5, or the student becomes subject to disciplinary sanctions. To reinstate a scholarship, the student must submit a written request to reinstate the scholarship, to the Director of Student Financial Services and be in good standing academically and/or all disciplinary sanctions removed. Students must pay for any failed or withdrawn classes. Scholarships will be awarded only to individuals who have been admitted to The Art Institute. In the event education is terminated either by the student or The Art Institute, the scholarship becomes null and void. The scholarships are not redeemable for cash and may not be used to finance optional programs sponsored by The Art Institute. The scholarships cover tuition only and may not be applied against fees, housing, living expenses, or program supplies and may not be transferred between affiliate schools of The Art Institutes. Should multiple scholarship wins occur by the same student, any and all scholarships funds from The Art Institute of Phoenix will not exceed full tuition of the students program.

Suggestions:

  • Apply in advance! Be sure to submit entries by the deadline dates. Most scholarships for high school seniors have deadline dates between December and April. A few require entry fees.
  • Follow all rules and regulations. Many good entries are disqualified for not meeting the requirements stated in the rules.
  • Apply for several scholarships. This will increase the chances of your winning.
  • Don't count on scholarships! Only a few are chosen out of the many that apply. Do apply for financial assistance if you feel you might benefit from it and be eligible for it. The government has many grants and loans available for students who meet the requirements. Our Student Financial Planning Department will assist you through this process.
  • Many clubs and organizations sponsor scholarships that students may use at The Art Institute of Phoenix. It would be beneficial to contact local service clubs, civic groups, and organizations to see if they sponsor scholarships and how to apply for them. Also contact your High School Counselor for additional information on scholarships for which you may be eligible to apply.
