Student's Contribution to Tuition
The school maintains a sponsored-tuition policy, which results in nearly two-thirds of the student's tuition being paid through contributions made to the school. These donations are made by patrons who believe in the vital importance of the visual arts and the importance of support for the emerging artist. This allows deserving students the opportunity to experience a period of deep involvement and growth within a structure that guides and facilitates study but does not dictate style. The sponsored-tuition policy ensures a certain quality of student, seriousness of purpose, and it creates a notable position within the art world. As a part of the concept of the sponsored-tuition program all students are expected to put forth their full effort in their studies, secure in the thought that they are studying for the sake of art, not for career purposes.
Tuition for the Spring 2010 semester is as follows:
The Full-Time Certificate Program: $3800 (15 week semester) + $250 (materials fees) = $4050
The Full-time program is strictly size-limited. Upon acceptance a $500 non-refundable tuition deposit will be due for all incoming students in order to confirm their enrollment.
Full-Time tuition is payable in 1, 2 or 3 installments due the 1st, 7th and 12th weeks of the semester.
Associate-Study: $550 (15 week semester) + $125 (material fees) = $675
Associate-Study tuition is payable in 1 or 2 installments due the 1st and 7th weeks of the semester.
Any student attending the San Francisco Studio School should be aware that the student is fully responsible for the costs involved in attending the school. Since the tuition at the school is already significantly reduced, the school cannot offer additional
financial support.
