The 2 most reasonable schools we found were Northern Michigan University and New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester, NH.

NMU which has a beautiful brand new stand alone art building. My D is from Florida and she was offered some good scholarship money to go there, they are interested in diversifying their student body. My guess is that being from Georgia would offer the same. OOS tuition is one of the most reasonable I’ve seen for a state school.

NHIA offered D great scholarship $$ as well, that put the cost of attendance very reasonable, came to about half.

Not sure if they have the specific programs your D wants, tho, but they both have illustration and might be worth a look. I know MCAD in Minneapolis has all of what she’d like and their comic program is one of the top rated, but COA might be a little higher than you’d like.

It’s hard to figure sometimes, because all schools offer different types and amounts of financial aid, so sometimes you end up comparing apples and oranges.
