The PNCA student community also works together, exhibiting their artwork and participating in everything from yoga classes to recreational clubs.
One of the most important parts of the admissions application is the artistic portfolio, which shows the applicant’s creative ability. Additional application requirements include transcripts and an essay outlining one’s creative and professional goals.
Pacific Northwest College of Art awards both talent and need-based scholarships to assist with the cost of tuition. Federal grants and loans, which are strictly need-based financial aid, are also available.
