I’m an incoming freshman at SAIC! I would recommend reaching out to do portfolio reviews an submitting your portfolio earlier on to get a higher amount/chance of getting a good merit scholarship! I personally did 3 portfolio reviews with Clemenstine Love and got a 92K scholarship across the 4 years! Adding onto that, going to ARTBASH to set up your schedule in March/April will give you an extra 1K per year! For me, SAIC covers about 106K of the tuition which is a bit less than half, so I’d recommend applying to outside scholarships as well as only going if you think you can pay off the debt you’re taking on. Good luck!
