Scholarships

AFI SCHOLARSHIP

The AFI Conservatory offers a limited number of scholarships each year to both domestic and international incoming Fellows. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need and merit. Scholarship award amounts vary and may partially cover the cost of tuition and fees.

The AFI Conservatory is a need-blind institution. Scholarship or financial need is not taken into consideration during the admissions process and would never be used in hindrance to an applicant’s admissions decision. Scholarships awarded to first-year Fellows are renewable in the second year provided the recipient maintains satisfactory academic progress and good standing at the Conservatory. Scholarship selection is determined by the AFI Conservatory Scholarship Committee.

Applications for Academic Year 2026-2027 will be open from December 19, 2025 to January 30, 2026. Both domestic and international applicants may apply. Notification of scholarship awards will be sent out after an admissions decision has been rendered. Late applications will not be considered.

If you have any questions, contact scholarships@afi.edu.
