Scholarships

Through the generous support of our community, CalArts was able to award more than $17 million in scholarship grants to the entire student body in 2016. The CalArts Fund helps to accomplish our core beliefs—that all young artists, regardless of financial circumstances, must have the opportunity to develop and refine their talent; build sustainable careers; and positively affect their communities.

Student Resources

Among CalArts top priorities is to furnish all of its six Schools with an extensive inventory of production facilities and equipment so that our students have the tools that they need to help achieve their artistic potential.

Apart from providing academic resources, CalArts is also committed to providing support services that ensures an enriching student life experience. We offer many resources, from wellness programs to personal counseling to career services, that help our students make the most of their time at CalArts.
