Pretty much your best bet to become a storyboard artist is through the Calarts nepotism pipeline, however that comes with a hefty price tag of no less than $45,000 a year without a scholarship.

If you want the practical skills of a storyboard artist and a good chance at securing a scholarship at a place like Calarts as a consequence then in the meantime I'd recommend subscribing to the AMB animation channel on youtube or through his website (ambanimation.com) and maybe looking up other similar youtubers from the animation thread for an incredibly cheap education that's easily the equal of what you'd get at a place like Calarts (where they've apparently forgotten what form is over the course of the past decade or so).

Just learn to draw cartoons on your own, they just teach figure drawing garbage that is nearly useless for animation. You won't learn how to draw cartoons in school.

Do you speak from experience? Are you a board artist?

Go on fiver, draw people's children, make some money, learn some stories

If I was you I would make animatics for youtube until someone from the industry noticed me.

Absolutely not. I got into drawing too late in life and won't be at a level to where I could be considered remotely employable in some time, if ever. I am however an artist that's improved substantially over the past few years having gone from stick figures to drawing like a 13 year old girl in short order thanks to these kinds of resources.

That said, I feel that this time I've spent encouraging younger people that actually might have potential unlike myself to try and find their own way (and often avoid an incredible debt burden in the process) is well worth it and I get great satisfaction of exposing these places. The data is there as are the anecdotes to support it: in most cases, art school simply isn't where it needs to be as far as both cost and quality goes.
