The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step in the financial aid process.
This application can be submitted online or by mailing a paper FAFSA directly to the federal processor. Mid's School Code for the FAFSA is 006768.
Once a student’s financial aid has been completely processed they may charge their tuition, fees, and books against eligible financial aid. Some types of federal and state financial aid funds are limited. Mid students who apply by April 1 will be given priority when those funds are offered by Mid. Students selected for verification may be required to submit documents to Mid's Financial Aid team.
For those students, Mid must compare the information from the FAFSA to the applicable tax forms and other required documents. Financial aid will not be offered until all required documents are provided. If it is determined that additional documents are required, financial aid previously offered may be canceled. Falsification of income information submitted for the purpose of receiving financial assistance will result in the cancellation of all future assistance and repayment of all previously offered financial aid. If federal and/or state funds are involved, the appropriate government agencies will be notified including the U.S. Department of Education, Michigan Higher Education Assistance Authority, and/or the Office of Inspector General.
This employment program provides jobs for students with financial need to help meet college expenses. Various positions are available at the Mt. Pleasant and Harrison Campuses as well as off-campus locations. There are several opportunities available such as clerical, custodial, food service, computer services, bookstore, and library.

An approved application does not guarantee a job and employment is dependent upon the availability of positions.

Transferring to Mid
Financial aid awards DO NOT automatically transfer between schools. You can only receive financial aid at one school per semester.
There are two ways to add Mid's school code to your FAFSA:
1. Go to your FAFSA and make a correction. Add Mid's school code of 006768 to your list of schools.
2. Or, call (800) 433-3243 and request that Mid's school code be added to your list of schools. You will need your Data Release Number (DRN) which is located on the bottom left corner of your Student Aid Report (SAR).
You may be selected for verification after adding Mid to your FAFSA. This may require submitting additional documents such as tax forms to our financial aid office and can add additional processing time.
Note: Guest students are not eligible for financial aid.
Regarding Student Loans when Transferring
Student loans DO NOT transfer from one school to another. In addition to filing the FAFSA, you may apply for any remaining federal student loan amounts you are eligible for on our loans page. Any loan funds you received this school year at other schools will be calculated into your maximum allowance. Maximum loan amounts per school year are as follows:
