Net Price Calculator
We know that attending a premiere college, like MIAD, at an accessible price is important to you. To help you understand the financial aid and scholarship money that might be available to you, we have created a student aid calculator tool. The estimate you receive from the calculator is approximate since you are rating your own portfolios without knowledge of your actual portfolio scores. Award amounts may vary from what the calculator estimates. Please feel free to contact our Admissions team with portfolio questions or Financial Aid staff with cost and aid questions.
At the end of the calculator, you’ll see a summary of your cost to attend MIAD in the context of your estimated aid and scholarship, which you can choose to have emailed to you directly.
As part of the Net Price Calculator, you will be asked to evaluate your portfolio. This can be difficult to do, so we have the following guidelines. Please use this guide to best determine the quality of your portfolio:
