At the School of Fashion Design, we understand pursuing a college education may be a significant undertaking. At SFD, we are committed to doing everything we can to work with incoming students to ensure everyone who is interested is able to complete our program.
Full time tuition is broken down into a manageable, no-interest payment plan. Also, SFD offers a number of scholarships and awards to support our students (see below).
SFD is not included under Title IV of the Higher Education Act to receive Federal or State aid. This means we are not able to receive payments from students in the form of Federal or State loans.
