Let's talk
about the money.
Can I use FAFSA?
No. DAD does not participate in federal student aid programs, so federal student loans and grants accessed through FAFSA aren't available for our program. Private financing may be an option for qualified students.
Is DAD a legitimate school?
Yes. Denver Ad School is approved and regulated by the Colorado Department of Higher Education's Division of Private Occupational Schools. DAD is not nationally accredited. Learn more about DPOS.
Is tuition the same online?
Yep. $27,000 whether you're in Denver or attending live online. Both formats follow the same 15-month program, with live classes and working creative directors.
What if I withdraw?
Tuition refunds and cancellations follow DAD's enrollment agreement, published refund policy, and applicable Colorado requirements. Review those terms before making a payment, especially if you're paying tuition in full ahead of time.
