  • Is financial aid available at SFSS?
    The sponsored tuition program at the school results in a remarkably low tuition for the student. This is in itself notable financial aid. The school does not provide eligibility for post secondary education loans guaranteed by the US government.

  • Does SFSS accept international students?
    Any international student who is in valid visa status may apply to the San Francisco Studio School. Attendance at the school does not qualify for F1 visa status in itself.

  • I have a full-time job, how can I take classes at the SF Studio School?
    Numerous students have jobs and/or family obligations. The SFSS full-time program is customized to the degree possible while ensuring depth of study. It is simply necessary for the student to maintain an appropriate level of involvement with his/her studies and meet the needed schedule in relation to the discipline he or she is studying.

  • Are there events or lectures at the SF Studio School open to the public?
    Gallery exhibitions, some talks and related special events are open to the public. Check the listing under Lectures & Events on the school website from time to time for updates.

  • What is the difference between the SFSS program and adult education?
    Study at the San Francisco Studio School presupposes a substantial involvement with the visual arts. It is not intended as an adjunct to lifestyle or personal enrichment per se. As such it is intended for students who are seeking fulfillment in their work as visual artists, no matter what level of experience they may currently have attained.
