The image on the banner is what 1 year of tuition w/ FAFSA assistance and 2 scholarships from Digipen costed. I had to take out a loan from Sallie Mae for 24,875$, because of the 12.625% interest fee, I'm estimated to pay 58,621$ in interest fees! Totaling to a total of 83,496.54$ that you see on this banner. That is the amount 1 year costed. Look at how much I'll be in severe crippling debt, and I'm not alone. You're not alone.

I can not stress enough, that in just two more years, I will have to pay $250,488 because of interest. For a degree that costs, half that price for 4 years.

The monthly projected costs for just 1 year of education is 455$ a month until October 15, 2040.

That means if I want to continue my education at Digipen, it's projected that my cost will rise to $1,365 a month until October 15,2040. That's insane. That's rent. That's food. That's electric/water. That's not humane. That's not possible.

Digipen believes that it is acceptable to treat students this poorly and this cruelly.

Digipen has recently raised it's cost of tuition yet again. There's many graduate students that I've spoken to paying 500-1200$ a month for student loans and having housing insecurities because of this school! Because of it's tuition costs!

It's time to speak up about costs, It's time to look at how much student loans is torturing us. I'm done staying quiet. I'm done letting monsters in our world take advantage of us!

We're people too. We're human. We are being set up to suffer! And we are going to break this cycle!

I will speak up! So speak up with me!

Let your voice be heard.
