Parsons Design School Scholarships
Parsons The New School for Design began its work in shaping leaders in the art and design world in 1896. Since then, the school has provided education to community leaders, businesspersons, artists, architects and scholars. Located in New York City, the school provides pre-collegiate, continuing education, undergraduate and graduate programs in six different schools. It also provides scholarships to students based on need and merit.

Pre-Collegiate
-
Promising high school art and design students can compete for scholarships to the Parsons Scholars Program in the fall of their sophomore year. The program is three years, and provides college-level art and design classes. It also helps students learn the skills necessary to succeed in any art and design college. Applicants must submit an essay, application, tax return or similar financial documents and a reference.
Undergraduate
-
Although the Parsons website does not individually list scholarships for which undergraduates may be eligible, it does state that undergraduates may be eligible for scholarships based on need and merit. The school applies scholarships toward tuition costs, and awards range small amounts to full tuition. Undergraduates must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid when they apply for admission.
-
Graduate
-
Graduate students are automatically considered for scholarships when they submit their admission application. They are not required to submit the FAFSA. Graduate students' scholarships are based more on merit than on financial need.
Considerations
-
Students must reapply for need-based scholarships every year, as scholarships are not renewable. Undergraduates must fill out the FAFSA each year. Students' need-based scholarships may be reduced or cancelled if they do not submit verification documents and applications by stated deadlines. If students refuse to accept a subsidized student loan offer one year, their future need-based scholarships may be reduced.
