Financial Aid and Scholarships

Our Values

We believe that no creative person should, for financial reasons, be left behind in the pursuit of a college degree. Therefore we offer financial aid and scholarships to those that qualify. Find out more about these opportunities below.

Fixed Tuition Program

Nossi College of Art and Design’s Fixed Tuition Program helps you plan your entire college budget, beginning with your first day of class. Fixed Tuition is a financial aid and scholarship policy enacted so you can maintain and control your budget without fear of a tuition hike. Once you enroll in a program at Nossi, tuition will NEVER increase for as long as you remain an active student.

Financial Aid

Most students need some financial assistance when it comes to affording a quality college education. At Nossi, financial aid is available for those who qualify and may include Federal Pell Grants, Direct Loan Programs, Social Security and United States Department of Veterans Affairs programs, Tennessee Student Assistant Awards, and Federal Direct (Parent) PLUS loans. The college’s financial aid office is happy to assist you in applying for federal aid. Complete details can be obtained through this office during campus tours and appointments. Schedule your tour today!

2024-2025 FAFSA Simplification

The FAFSA is getting a makeover to make the application easier for students and their families. This has caused a delay in the 2024-2025 FAFSFA application.

Scholarships

We believe that finances should not be an obstacle when pursuing a creative arts degree. Therefore another form of financial aid we offer is in-state and out-of-state scholarship options for high school, transfer, adult, and Nossi alumni students.
