AFI Directing 2022

That's strange! I got mine last week.

Oh wild! I got my scholarship award last week, but not my financial aid package (what comes back from the FAFSA). Did you already get both?

Oh! No, I got just my scholarship. So FAFSA award letters should be coming next week? Do you know by what date?

Robin said this week! But I have no specifics, sadly.

 

[loon]

Okay thanks for letting me know!

Okay thanks for letting me know!

You bet!

 

[loon]

You bet!

Hey do you mind if I DM you? This loan stuff is confusing.

Def do not mind at all. It’s incredibly confusing. The USAmerican education system is so fun!

Hey everyone! While I didn't get into AFI, my fiancee and I are still wanting to move to LA. If anyone wants to potentially live with us and our cat near the Los Feliz/Glendale area, send me a message!

Hey guys! I also didnt get a scholarship and was wondering if other international students are facing the same financial problem.. are there any kind of whatsapp groups or something?

I havent but was thinking about it too!

 

[arobase]

Hi there, I dm'd you my phone number. Let's make a whatsapp group.
I have no other choice than to apply for a loan and as many scholarships as possible. I have an appointment with my bank later today, I'm a bit nervous

Hey both! Just thought I'd drop on here because I was accepted last year (screenwriting) and they "absolutely do not under any circumstances" offer deferrals I'm afraid - believe me I BEGGED.

*However, I will say that I ended up being the 0.000001% exception as I had a medical emergency and was admitted to hospital 5 days before I was meant to travel and then needed ongoing medical care so there was no way I could've gone. The deferral was a really long process, even after I submitted pictures of my medical record etc. They had to take it to the board, put my case forward and then send me the outcome. They ended up offering me a deferral for this year but I'm not attending though as I literally couldn't afford it. I'm an international so didn't qualify for the FAFSA, didn't get any scholarship and the majority of the scholarships they sent through weren't running due to the impact from covid.

Sorry I can't give better news

Yes I can verify they don't do referrals. They mention that in our interview with AFI:
