FInancial Aid
Outside scholarships are awarded to a student’s financial aid award upon receipt of the scholarship check from the donor. Once funds are received by CalArts, they will be disbursed to your student account according to our disbursement schedule. If you have received or are expecting to receive an outside scholarship, please notify the Financial Aid Office, as they are required to document this information accordingly and make any necessary adjustments to your financial aid per federal guidelines.
Scholarship Universe is a tool to match you with outside scholarships that you can apply for. You can access the Scholarship Universe application through CalArts Single Sign-On at sso.calarts.edu.
