Tuition and Fees
Career Education Programs
Students enrolling in the Certificate of Competency in Craft Arts program; with a concentration in Artistic Blacksmithing; are charged an $85 application fee and $4,800 in tuition.
The non-refundable application fee of $85 is due with the student’s application for admission. The $4,800 in tuition is payable prior to beginning instruction.
Students enrolling in a sixteen week session can pay tuition in one of three ways:
Cash payment of the tuition ten days prior to the first class session, with the student receiving a 5% discount ($240).
Entry into a payment plan with the Arkansas Craft School thirty days prior to the first class session. Payment plans require a $600 down payment and fourteen subsequent, weekly payments of $300 each Tuesday thereafter until the full amount is paid (14 weekly payments).
Entry into an installment loan, through a commercial lender, with extended payments term (generally 24-36 months), thirty days prior to the first class session.
Payment plans may be denied to individuals due to poor credit history at the discretion of the school or the commercial lender. Students under the age of 21 require a guarantor of legal age (usually a parent or legal guardian).
Community Enrichment Programs
The tuition and costs associated with classes taught in the community education program are set by the course instructor. The overall cost for each class is published in the semi-annual Community Enrichment Course Catalog and on the school’s website.
