Tuition & Financial Aid

Hi! I'm Chris Pesotski, Director of the Office of Student Financial Services (SFS) at the University of the Arts. SFS helps thousands of students plan for a UArts education each year.

I know the cost of a college education is high, but I also know that it is an investment that pays off in the long run.

Our office administers scholarships and grants, helps students apply for loans and student employment positions, and works with families to structure payment plans to meet their needs.

Please take a minute to meet our staff and take a look at my SFS blog. You can also find more information about Financial Aid for undergraduate and graduate students.

If you have questions about the Direct Loan Program at UArts, please visit our Direct Loans page, or check out our Direct Loan video podcast series - created by our very own University of the Arts students.

If you have been selected for Federal Verification and need to complete a Verification Worksheet or other forms, please visit our Financial Aid Documents page.

Be sure to also visit CashCourse.org, a valuable resource devoted to student financial literacy.

Please note that the Student Financial Services office will not maintain extended hours on Tuesdays after May 11. Our office will be open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Best wishes as you pursue your University of the Arts degree!

Chris Pesotski
