NEW STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS

MIAD recognizes artistic and academic achievement through a vibrant array of renewable scholarships. Based on artistic and academic merit, MIAD scholarships embrace the creative energies of our prospective student body. Students accepted for admission will automatically be considered for MIAD scholarships. Scholarship decisions will be made on a rolling basis beginning December 1. Students may be eligible for additional forms of financial aid.

MIAD’s generous merit scholarships range from $12,000 per year up to full-tuition. To learn more about MIAD’s merit scholarships, applying to MIAD and important dates, please complete a request for information form.

OUTSIDE SCHOLARSHIPS

MIAD encourages students and families to be aware of scholarship and grant opportunities that are available from non-MIAD sources. Many scholarships that do not originate with MIAD are available to students who may qualify based on special skills, community activities, ethnic or racial heritage, or other criteria. Good sources of information about these scholarships are high school guidance offices, libraries, a parent’s place of employment, churches and civic organizations.
