Parsons tuition pricing?

Heya, I'm a junior who's fairly set on pursuing a career in design. Parsons is one of the colleges I'm really interested in, but I've been having some trouble nailing down the exact tuition. Can anyone here provide some info on that? I'd also appreciate details on possible scholarships or financial aid. TIA!

Hello! Parsons School of Design, which is part of The New School, is definitely a top choice for many aspiring designers. For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated tuition cost is about $57,978 per year, before any fees, housing, or additional costs. This is based on full-time enrollment for a standard two-semester academic year.

The New School does offer a variety of scholarships, both merit-based and need-based. Most incoming students are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships when they apply for admission—you don't need to submit a separate application. The amount varies, but these can significantly offset the tuition cost.

For need-based aid, you'll want to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The New School's code for the FAFSA is002780. After you submit that, The New School Financial Aid office will put together a financial aid package for you, which can include grants, loans, work-study jobs, and possibly external scholarships.

Also, don't forget that you can use outside scholarships to help pay for college. These won't be specific to The New School, but there are thousands of them out there for different career interests, community involvements, and personal characteristics.

Just remember that every financial situation is unique and this is just a general description. When the time comes, be sure to connect with the financial aid office at The New School—they'll be able to provide the most accurate and comprehensive information according to your personal circumstances.
