Doctor of Design – Financial Aid

Applicants for the Doctor of Design Program (DDes) should be aware of the following aid options:

  • All students admitted to the DDes program will have a portion of their tuition covered by grant and/or Teaching Fellow work award during the first two years of their program. Applicants do not need to apply to receive the DDes grant or Teaching Fellowship.
  • All DDes applicants are encouraged to review the options for Restricted Scholarships. The application process for these scholarships is described on the Restricted Scholarship page.
  • DDes students who are US citizens or permanent residents may also apply for federal awards by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA will be available online on 1/1/2010. Admitted students will be informed about their financial aid at the time of admission decisions provided they have applied by the February 05, 2010 deadline.
  • Also, please review our information about Outside Scholarships .
  • Alternative loan options are also available for International and Domestic Students.

 

Applying for financial assistance has no bearing on an application for admissions.
