Financial aid



During the application process for arts-X-press, many parents wonder how they will be able to afford this fantastic opportunity. The most important thing to remember is this: we are committed to finding a solution for every financial situation.
 

The full tuition for arts-X-press is $675. If you cannot afford this (or cannot afford it all at once),  we will work with you to find a solution which includes a tuition reduction, payment plan, or both. Everyone is eligible for assistance, and the amount awarded will be based on financial need. 

Students enrolled in Santa Ana Unified*, Garden Grove Unified, or any Title I school qualify automatically for a tuition reduction down to $375. Qualifying students get this price reduction automatically, so if $375 works for your family, you do not need to fill out a financial aid form. If this is still not affordable for you, you can also apply for additional financial aid and/or a payment plan using the financial aid application.
   *In order to be eligible, students must reside in the City of Santa Ana.

Financial aid applications will be sent to all accepted students with their welcome letters. Please plan to attend on of our spring registration meetings where you will get much more information. And do not hesitate to call us at (714) 876-2336 if we can help.
Remember: the only way we can't help is if we don't communicate.
