MFA Fellowships are the highest and most prestigious scholarships awarded at the San Francisco Art Institute. The Fellowships are awarded for the full cost of tuition to selected MFA students whose portfolio of artwork and application to the Graduate program are deemed to be of the highest caliber by the Graduate Faculty Selection Committee. Fellowship recipients are selected from the pool of admitted MFA students by the Graduate program faculty. MFA Fellowships are awarded for two years, contingent upon maintaining full-time enrollment status and satisfactory progress through the MFA curriculum, including the intermediate review. MFA Fellowships are awarded beginning in the term for which the student originally applied for admission and may not be deferred to future start terms.
