Financial aid tips for architecture students
Whether you are pursuing a bachelors or masters degree in architecture, you’ll also want to apply for need-based financial aid. This need-based financial aid can include everything from grants, like Pell Grants, federal student loans, and work study. To apply for need-based financial aid, submit the FAFSA and for some schools, the CSS Profile.
Make sure that you apply for financial aid by the appropriate CSS Profile and FAFSA deadlines. If you apply for financial aid and are accepted to the college, you will receive a financial aid award letter which outlines the various types of aid available to you.
College-Specific Scholarships
Your college or university may also have specific scholarships available for students studying in the architecture school. We always remind students to research scholarships at the colleges and universities they plan to apply to. Oftentimes, they offer unique scholarship opportunities just for those planning/enrolling!
