Explore Scholarships, Grants, and Tuition at PNCA

There has never been a better time to enroll at the Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA). We’re proud to offer more scholarships and grants than ever before, making a PNCA education more affordable. Our mission is to make financial aid clear, accessible, and understandable for all students. Plus, applying for admission and financial aid is always free.

  • Financial Aid Made Simple

    Need help navigating the process? Join our Financial Aid 101 webinar, where we break down everything you need to know. You can also use our Cost of Attendance Calculator to estimate your expenses.

  • No Hidden Fees

    We keep tuition competitive and transparent—unlike many universities, we don’t add hidden fees. Once admitted and after completing the financial aid process, you’ll receive a detailed cost of attendance long before classes begin, and we’re here to help you review and understand it.
