I’ve started researching film programs to do next summer, however my parents absolutely refuse to pay much for any of them. Has anyone here done or know of any film/arts programs with merit aid, or know of any outside scholarships? We won’t qualify for financial aid. Or does anyone know of any reasonably priced programs? We live in nyc, and are moving to the bay area (ca) next summer. I’ll be a rising sophomore btw. Heres what I’m thinking so far:

CSSSA/ NYSSSA: Csssa especially sounds amazing, and with in state tuition those are both affordable for us, and sound like great experiences. However, I’m not sure I’ll qualify in state, especially for csssa.

UArts: They seem like a pretty cool film program, especially being in philly which isn’t too far from home. However, I’m not sure how much they consider financial need for the scholarships.

School of Visual Arts: This seems like a great program, and I’ve seen great reviews. I’ll be able to stay with friends in the city too, so that means I won’t have to pay residential costs. They have merit aid, and it’d be nice to stay in the city before moving

North Carolina School of Arts: I’ve seen good reviews, and the programs seems fun. Although they have absolutely no aid, the tuition isn’t as crazy as some other schools, and I could look at outside scholarships.

So yeah, this is my small bit of research, anyone have suggestions or reviews?
Thanks
