Financial Aid
The financial aid programs are part of the school’s desire to attract qualified students from a diversity of backgrounds. Any student want to be considered for financial assistance from the school must complete a financial aid application form and submit it to student services by February 15 of each year for consideration. Financial aid scholarships are contingent on the continuation of satisfactory progress in all enrolled courses, and are available to all full-time enrolled students.
Financial aid applications can be emailed to Director of Admissions & Student Services Anki King aking@nyss.org, or mailed to:

Tuition Remission Fellowships
New York Studio School tuition remission fellowships are available to enrolled students who demonstrate genuine financial need. Applicants are reviewed by student services, who consider the student’s skills, academic progress and merit, in addition to their need. Other sources of aid and efforts towards self-help are also taken into account.
Tuition remission awards are deducted directly from tuition at the beginning of each semester for those who qualify. Students are required to work for a specific number of hours in either one or more roles, depending on the amount of the award. Assignments can include class monitors; office and library assistance; wait staff; gallery work and graphic design, among others.
Attendance and hours are tracked by the supervisor for each role, and records are maintained by the student services coordinator throughout the semester. Tuition remission awards will be revoked if the student does not fulfill their commitment, or if the student does not maintain academic compliance. Applications for the awards are given at registration.
