The need for scholarships today
The cost of a college education in the 21st century can be daunting, and this is especially true for the majority of Otis students. Over 75% percent of Otis'undergraduate students qualify for financial aid. Many of them are the first in their family to attend college. The current cost of attendance, which includes tuition, fees, art supplies and books, well exceeds $50,000. Even with a combination of federal and state grants, employment, and loans, students are left with $10,552 of unmet need.
Your annual or endowed scholarship will make a critical difference in the lives of students.
