The Art Institutes offered various scholarships before their closure in 2023, including merit-based, need-based, and program-specific awards. Notable options included the Ai Competitive Scholarship, which rewarded academic excellence, and the Ai Opportunity Grant for students with financial need. Some campuses also provided portfolio-based scholarships for creative disciplines.
External scholarships, such as those from professional organizations or private foundations, remain available for art and design students. Prospective students should explore alternatives like federal aid, state grants, or scholarships from accredited institutions that absorbed former Art Institutes programs. Always verify scholarship legitimacy through official channels.
