South Seattle College's two-quarter offer, which is equivalent to 30 credits, is covered with a combination of financial aid, scholarships and donations.

Former Art Institute students who were already enrolled and working toward a degree qualify for the offer. Students will need to provide a transcript and complete the financial aid process.

Students have to enroll in spring 2019 to be eligible and use the full 30 credits by fall 2019.
