At private colleges and universities all across the country, there is a gap between what students pay for their education and what it costs the institution to provide that educational experience. Unlike state schools, we cannot depend on state or federal assistance to pay the bills.
At KCAI, tuition generates approximately 60 percent of the income necessary to underwrite our annual operating expenses. The other 40 percent must come from other sources.
In addition, it is important that we have the financial resources to maintain an attractive and comfortable campus living, classroom and studio environment and to build an endowment fund that will assure the future of the school.
One of the most important sources for this additional funding is gifts and grants from individuals, foundations and corporations. These generous donors are investing in the future of art and design in Kansas City and across the world.
More than 90 percent of our students receive financial aid. Without the assistance of these benefactors, many would not have the chance to attend KCAI and receive a top quality arts education.
