"By increasing our endowed scholarship resources, we are not only supporting artists today but investing in a community that will continue to grow."
"Affordability is often a hurdle for artists seeking a graduate education, and at Yale, scholarships are need-based and awarded upon admission."
"Without the financial burden, Chasse was able to devote all her time and energy to her practice, unlike some of her classmates who, she said, were burnt out from working side jobs to support themselves."
The Yale School of Art is collaborating with Sotheby's for an auction to benefit scholarships for its Master of Fine Arts program. Scheduled for May 15, the auction features 13 lots, including works by notable artists like Richard Prince and Josef Albers. The MFA program costs nearly $80,000 for the 2026-2027 academic year. Dean Kymberly Pinder aims to ensure students graduate debt-free, having raised $13 million towards this goal. Scholarships are need-based, and the admission rate was 6% in fall 2024, highlighting the challenges of affordability in graduate education.
