  STUDENT LOANS
Many of our students use a Private Education Loan to cover both tuition and living expenses. -You must be 18 or older and have established good credit OR have a co-signer.
  • If you have credit problems then you will need a co-signer; if you have good credit a co-signer will help you get a better
    interest rate.

  • You won't have to make payments while you are in school.
GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
NYFA will help process any grants or scholarships a student might find. It's not easy to find sources to fund arts education and you should expect to spend a lot of time searching (www.finaid.org reports that only 7% of U.S. students have a grant or scholarship, and that these typically total
$2000 or less) . Many students start the search here: www.fastweb.com. There are also some helpful books out there: Kaplan Scholarships, Peterson's Scholarships, Grants and Prizes and The Scholarship Book. These are available at most libraries and bookstores.
THE SHOWBIZ SOFTWARE SCHOLARSHIP, PRESENTED BY MEDIA SERVICES
Amount: $25,000 covering full tuition to NYFA’s One-Year Producing Program in New York City or Los Angeles.
