First of all, unless you know your gonna be a famous artist, going to an art school that costs that much is just a waste of money. 100k for an art history or photography degree, ouch. anyways, there are a ton of sites and companies that offer financial aid. Do some serious thinking if that is the kinda money you want to spend for a degree that if you don't make it famous will you with the ability to teach art at a low level. Good luck to you and wish you the best. Please know I am not hating, had no idea what i wanted to do when i went to college. Impressed that you do, you just might be able to find a better value.

Forget them. You want to get your first two years of college locally at a community college. Take all the art classes you can fit in around your requirements. When you have finished the first year, start looking at art colleges for your junior and senior year.

That's really no more than an out of state college... You pay for it through scholarships, grants, loans, etc. You could get the majority of your credits at a community college as long as they'd transfer and save a lot of money, although based on prerequisites you could still end up needing 3-4 years on top of the 2 at community college before you'd get a degree
