Financial Aid – Overview
Historically, the FAFSA has been available beginning October 1st. However, because of the FAFSA Simplification Act, the 2024-25 FAFSA will not be available until sometime in December 2023.
At MIAD, we are committed to making an outstanding art and design education accessible for all students. We will support you throughout college and into your vibrant, professional career.
A MIAD education is a valuable investment in your future. Our curriculum is designed to ignite your mind and launch your career through hands-on professional opportunities. 4 out of 5 MIAD graduates find their first job in Wisconsin and contribute meaningfully to the state’s creative economy. While the upfront cost attending college can be intimidating, we’re here to help you through the financial aid and scholarship processes to maximize the funds available to you for college. 100% of admitted, full-time students at MIAD receive scholarship funds.
