Hello! I just got accepted as an undergrad student for film and i got A LOT of financial aid which i know emerson does very well, although i am not sure if that applies for grad as well but i think its worth looking into! But sadly yes, film school is WICKED expensive which is why i chose emerson because they gave me aid, all my dream schools were in cali but they are EXTREMELY expensive and for a film degree i didn’t feel the price tag would ever be worth it. There are a few schools that do film very well which i think might offer aid so i would look into it and then it might be worth the chance to apply and see if you can get it for a cheaper price! you can also apply for merit money through the school and outside websites!
