I attended smfa for undergrad. I'm not sure how generous they are with scholarships, but it's an expensive program, especially since the facilities and studio space is lacking. Some of the faculty are really amazing, but it depends on your focus, I know the performance and sculpture department is strong. I may be bias, but I don't think Boston offers a lot for the graduate students. There isn't much of a contemporary art scene, some small alternative gallery spaces, but they are far and few between. That's my two cents.
