Financial Aid​​​​​​​

At Gage Academy of Art, we believe that artists are made, not born. Our mission is to support aspiring artists by offering financial assistance to help them pursue their creative passions.

Gage provides financial aid through Tuition Assistance and Scholarship Programs, ensuring that art education is accessible to everyone. Each year, we allocate resources to make it possible for students, regardless of financial constraints, to take part in our classes and workshops.

There are two ways to receive financial support: Tuition Assistance and Donor Scholarships.

Tuition Assistance

  • Needs-based
  • Non-competitive
  • For both adult and youth
​​​​​​​This assistance provides a percentage reduction on tuition, applicable to a class of the student’s choice. The application process is simple and non-competitive, focusing solely on financial need and personal circumstances. Separate applications are available for youth and adult students.

Donor Scholarships

  • Merit-based
  • Competitive application
  • Adults only
​​​​​​​Our donor-supported scholarships provide access to art education for students based on merit and need. These scholarships are awarded annually through a competitive application process, reviewed by a panel of local and national art professionals. The generosity of our community donors makes these scholarships possible.

Financial Aid for Young Artists

To make art education accessible to students from all backgrounds, we offer need-based tuition assistance for our youth classes.

We also offer scholarships—including scholarships for BIPOC youth—for our summer programming, so check back in spring for the application.
