Admissions

Transfer Agreements

Pacific Northwest College of Art is in the process of signing transfer agreements with community colleges throughout the region, allowing their students to enter PNCA as a junior and save up to two years’ worth of tuition costs.

Students who transfer from a listed "Partner School" to Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) with 60 semester credits / 90 quarter credits will receive a Transfer Partner Scholarship of $5,000 per year, guaranteed for up to three years at PNCA. This scholarship will be in addition to a renewable merit-based scholarship received upon admission, ranging between $15,000-23,000. Merit-based scholarships range based on the overall strength of a student's application. This scholarship can be combined with additional PNCA admissions scholarships and external scholarships, grants, and loans for additional funding. Students are strongly encouraged to fill out the FAFSA for additional need-based aid. Students who fill out the FAFSA may qualify for an additional $3,000 PNCA Grant each year for up to four years depending on their expected family contribution.

Students who transfer from a Partner School with a Transfer Agreement in place, following the Transfer Agreement Pathway, will receive the Transfer Partnership Scholarship with a guaranteed second semester sophomore, or first semester junior standing, depending on the transfer agreement in place.
