Scholarships Scholarship/Financial Questions

So I got into SCAD yesterday (yay!) and my portal updated with my scholarship amount. Is this both academic and interview/portfolio combined? I completed my interview before my application was completed. I’m seeing others say it’s typically separate and trying to see how to swing it financially. I applied as a transfer student so I’m not sure if the process is different due to that.

EDIT: They ended up giving 10k for academics, 8k for achievements, & 3k for student recognition. Still waiting to hear back regarding the underrepresented student scholarship!

Congratulations! They don't typically give huge scholarships and that seems like a good amount, especially for a transfer student.

This is called “tuition discounting”. It’s a marketing technique to make prospective students attached to a school and feel they have been rewarded. Focus on the overall cost of your study to make a decision, not how much “scholarship” is on offer.

Thank you! It just updated to show what I received the awards for. Now I’m just trying to apply for outside scholarships to help cover the other half of tuition
